The invention discloses a polypeptide
nanoparticle composition, which relates to the
gene delivery technology field in the field of
gene therapy. The
peptide for delivering
nucleic acid has the following general structure: (Arg)n-Xa-Yb-Xc-Cys (general formula I), wherein: n+a+b+c+1=6-40, n, a, b or c are independent of each other, and n≥1, b≥1, a, c are any of 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26. The invention provides a novel non-natural polypeptide having the function of encapsulating
nucleic acid and selectively promoting
nucleic acid to pass through
cell membrane, as well as a macromolecular lipid polypeptide
nanoparticle containing the polypeptide, a method for using the same for
in vivo and
in vitro cell gene transfection, and a method for applying the same to vaccine preparations.
