49
Q

Steps of the nonviral approach for gene transfer:

A
  1. DNA-liposome complex is taken up by endocytosis
  2. The liposome is degraded and DNA is released in the cytosol
  3. The DNA is imported into the cell nucleus
  4. Insert DNA is integrated by recombination into a chromosome
50
Q

Steps of the viral approach for gene transfer:

A
  1. Retrovirus is taken up by endocytosis
  2. The viral coat is disassembled and 2 copies of the RNA genome are released in the cytosol
  3. The RNA is reverse transcripted to DNA, which moves to the nucleus
  4. Viral DNA is integrated by recombination into a chromosome
