Polyelectrolyte complexes between cationic polymers and DNA have emerged as potential nonviral vectors for DNA delivery. For successful in vivo delivery, methods for analyzing their ability to prevent digestion of the DNA payload by serum nucleases are essential. We report here a simple assay to determine degradation of DNA in these complexes using standard electrophoretic techniques. The assay is...
