Targeted intracellular delivery of large nucleic acids

Abstract

Herein is reported a composition for the targeted delivery of large nucleic acids to the nucleus of a eukaryotic cell comprising non-covalent complexes of histones in form of assembled nucleosomes, a large nucleic acid, a hapten, and a bispecific binder that has a first binding specificity to the hapten and a second binding specificity to a cell-surface target present on the eukaryotic cell, wherein the histone and/or the nucleic acid is/are covalently bound/conjugated to the hapten, the histone and the large nucleic acid are associated (non-covalently) with each other/form a non-covalent complex, and the hapten and the bispecific binder are associated with each other/bound to each other by the first binding specificity of the bispecific binder.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
