摘要
Single helical β -glucan is a one-dimensional host that can form a hybrid helix with DNAs/RNAs as delivery systems. However, unmodified β -glucan has a gelling tendency and a single helical conformation is challenging to obtain. Therefore, in this study, we developed a β -glucan formyl derivative with stable single helical conformation and no gelling tendency. Circular dichroism studies found that the formyl- β -glucan could form a hybrid helix with DNA CpG-poly(dA). The hybrid helix delivery system showed improved activation on antigen-presenting cells, thereby upregulating the mRNA and protein levels of inflammatory factors, and had an immune-enhancing effect on ovalbumin (OVA) immunized mice. These results indicate that formyl- β -glucan can be developed as a non-cationic supramolecular DNA delivery platform with low toxicity and high efficiency.
