2. Nucleic acid services platform
Gene therapy is developing into precise medicines that can manipulate specific genes in the treatment
of serious diseases and vaccines development. To effectively function in vivo, reliable delivery systems
are very important to the nucleic acids for protecting them from degradation and allowing effective
cellular uptake and release. Based on profound scientific research accumulation, strong R&D strength
and continuous technical support, CD Bioparticles could provide customers with one-stop
customization service as:

3. Delivery system development platforms
Polymer-based nanoparticles
Due to the wide range of sources and low immunogenicity, cationic polymers, such as PEI, dendrimers,
chitosan, gelatin are widely used nanoscales delivery systems for gene therapy.
With the similar structure of cell membrane, liposomes are considered to be a safer and more
effective delivery system. Its flexibility and robustness in lipid structure, composition, ratio and
preparation methods make liposomes an important artificial carrier for gene therapy. Targeting
ligands, such as peptides, antibodies have been successfully applied in liposomes to achieve
active targeting delivery to specified area. Furthermore, encapsulating fluorescent dyes in liposomes
is very beneficial for later tracking and imaging studies.

4. Delivery system development platforms
Cell-based nanoparticles
Exosomes are nanovesicles derived from cell membrane with natural targeting ability. CD Bioparticles
provides various exosome production custom services for gene therapy research.
Viral vectors
Viral vectors are a tool commonly used in molecular biology to bring genetic material into cells. The
principle is to use the molecular mechanism of viruses to transmit their genomes into other cells for
infection. Its high effectiveness and tropism make viral vectors one of the most commonly used
carriers for gene therapy. CD Bioparticles could provide a wild range of viral vectors for basic
research and preclinical study.
