Master’s Degree in Nanostructured Materials for Nanotechnology Applications.[EN]: This report focuses on gold nanoparticle functionalization and checks their capability to transfect cells with a DNA plasmid, so the possibilities of the gold nanoparticles as vehicles for gene therapy can be explored. The nanoparticles were covered with a short polymer as stabilizer and, by the formation of an amide bound, different molecules of interest were conjugated to interact with a plasmid. Cell viability in presence of those functionalized nanoparticles was checked, and, finally, a transfection assay was performed. Transfected cells produced EGFP (Enhanced Green Fluorescent Protein), so they could be identified with fluorescence microscopy. Though som...
