The invention provides a preparation method of a liposome-protected nano-gold gene carrier: dissolving dioctadecyldimethylammonium bromide and dioleoylphosphatidylethanolamine in an organic solvent, and then removing the organic solvent After dissolving in water, ultrasonically obtain the phospholipid vesicle solution; the molar ratio of the dioctadecyldimethylammonium bromide and dioleoylphosphatidylethanolamine is 1:10~10:1; the phospholipid vesicle After the capsule solution is mixed with the compound containing gold ions, a reducing agent is added to react to obtain the nano-gold gene carrier protected by the liposome. After the liposome-protected nano-gold gene carrier of the present invention is combined with the gene, the transfection efficiency is high, and the gene release speed is fast in a specific environment; it has good stability in serum, no aggregation phenomenon, and does not need to be cultured during the in vitro transfection process. The serum in the liquid is removed, which simplifies the transfection process; the DNA load is high, which reduces the amount of DNA used, and reduces the cytotoxicity and immunogenicity of exogenous DNA to the body.
