Table 3 Involvement of vectors in miRNA-based delivery
Vector | Size | Structure | Influence on cells |
|---|---|---|---|
AAV | ~ 4.7 kb | Protein capsid with ss DNA | Dividing and non-dividing cells |
Retroviruses | ~ 7 to 11 kb | Lipid layer ss RNA | Only dividing cells |
Lentiviruses | ~ 8 kb | Protein capsid ss RNA | Dividing and non-dividing cells |
