Abstract
The present invention relates to vehicles for delivering macromolecules into cells. More particularly, embodiments of the invention relate to compounds and methods for binding and compacting nucleic acids into nanoparticles for transferring the polynucleotides into cells and which can be configured to provide a mechanism for visualization of the delivery vehicles on the nm/.mu.m scale by microscopy and on the sub-mm scale by magnetic resonance imaging. Polycations according to embodiments of the invention have been designed to contain repeated oligoethyleneamines, for binding and compacting nucleic acids into nanoparticles, and lanthanide (Ln) chelates (for example, using luminescent europium Eu.sup.3+ and paramagnetic gadolinium Gd.sup.3+). Preferred polymeric imaging beacons according to embodiments of the invention comprise repeating units of metal chelates within an oligoamine backbone, the repeating units comprising: ##STR00001## wherein n ranges from 2 to 10,000,000; M is a metal capable of exhibiting an imaging functionality for an imaging modality; and the oligoamine backbone comprises from 1 to 8 ethlyeneamines and is chosen from diethyleneamine, triethylenediamine, tetraethylenetriamine, pentaethylenetetraamine, hexaethylenepentamine, heptaethylenehexamine, octaethyleneheptamine or nonethyleneoctaamine. Especially preferred, are structures chelated with either Eu3+ or Gd3+ for microscopy or MRI imaging, respectively. Such chelated lanthanides allow for the visualization of the delivery vehicle both on the nm/.mu.m scale by way of microscopy and on the sub-mm scale using MRI.

Important Notes on Latency of Status data
Please note there is up to 60 days of latency in this Status indicator for certain status conditions. You can obtain up-to-date Status indicator readings by ordering PAIR for the file.
An application with the status "Published" (which means it is pending) may be recently abandoned, but not yet updated to reflect its abandoned status. However, an application filed less than one year ago is unlikely to be abandoned.
A patent with the status "Granted" may be recently expired, but not yet updated to reflect its expired status. However, it is highly unlikely a patent less than 3.5 years old would be expired.
An application with the status "Abandoned" is almost always current, but there is a small chance it was recently revived and the status not yet updated.
Important Note on Priority Date data
This priority date is an estimated earliest priority date and is purely an estimation. This date should not be taken as legal conclusion. No representations are made as to the accuracy of the date listed. Please consult a legal professional before relying on this date.
