Gene transfer into the airways could be of importance for the treatment of chronic lung diseases such as cystic fibrosis. In the past few years several attempts have been made to effectively deliver DNA to the lung using different viral and non‐viral vector systems. Viral vectors and cationic lipids have been tested intensively but the properties of cationic polymers such as polyethylenimine (PEI) 25 kDa and fractured polyamidoamine dendrimers to deliver DNA to the airways have not been studied. Surfactant preparations have been shown to influence pulmonary adenoviral and naked plasmid DNA mediated gene transfer in vivo. We investigated the gene delivery efficiency of branched PEI 25 kDa and fractured dendrimers to the murine lung in vivo and also examined the effect of surfactant on PEI 25 kDa mediated gene transfer to the lung.
