Abstract: A new poly(aminoester) (EPAE-FA) containing folic acid and amino groups in
the backbone and side chain was synthesized. EPAE-FA self-assembled readily with the
plasmid DNA (pCMV-βgal) in HEPES buffer and was characterized by dynamic light
scattering, zeta potential, fluorescence images, and XTT cell viability assays. To evaluate
the transfection effect of graft ratio of FA on the EPAE system, EPAE-FA polymers with
two different graft ratios (EPAE-FA12k and EPAE-FA14k) were also prepared. This study
