Experiment Id EXP001580
Paper Synthesis, cellular uptake and HIV-1 Tat-dependent trans-activation inhibition activity of oligonucl
Peptide Transportan
Delivery Success Class no
In Vivo Flag no
Uptake Confirmed yes
Label Confidence high
In Vitro Functional Effect no
Endosomal Escape Evidence no
Peptide Concentration 2.5 µM conjugate (free delivery; typical)
Rna Concentration 2.5 µM conjugate (free delivery; typical)
Mixing Ratio Covalent 1:1 peptide:oligo (disulphide)
Formulation Format Disulphide-linked peptide–oligonucleotide conjugate (peptide has terminal Cys; oligo has 5' C6-thiol; 3' fluorescein label).
Formulation Components Transportan–oligo B (conjugate 13)
Size Nm
Zeta Mv
Model Scope in_vitro
Model Type in vitro
Cell Lines Or Primary Cells HeLa Tet-Off/Tat/luc-f/luc-R stable reporter cells (Tat-dependent HIV LTR firefly luciferase; Renilla control)
Animal Model
Administration Route
Output Type Uptake (confocal) + reporter inhibition assay
Output Value very weak uptake in HeLa; no Tat-dependent trans-activation inhibition under free delivery
Output Units
Output Notes Free delivery incubations (5–24 h) showed fluorescence in cytosolic vesicles; no nuclear localization and no inhibition of Tat-dependent trans-activation (firefly luciferase). Authors attribute lack of activity to endosomal entrapment / insufficient release.
