| Abstract | Gelatin is investigated as a matrix for temporarily encapsulating, then releasing active, short oligonucleotide stands. While most previous work has focused on using gelatin matrices with covalent crosslinks in which protease digestion triggers release of encapsulated agents, the current study involves uncrosslinked gelatin in order to preserve its relevant temperature sensitivity. First, 150 µL gelatin blocks loaded with fluorescently labeled DNA were investigated. Deposition of poly(allylamine)–poly(acrylic acid) bilayers on the gel typically hindered DNA release at room temperature, but promoted at least 5-fold greater release at 37 °C relative to the room temperature samples. Next, a polydisperse population of DNA-loaded gelatin microspheres was prepared and coated with the polyelectrolyte bilayer. The gelatin microsphere system exhibited a similar temperature dependence as the block system, however, the total amount of DNA encapsulated and released was greater due, mostly likely, to the higher surface area to volume ratio of the microspheres. In both systems, any active DNA released from the gelatin matrices was quantified through subsequent hybridization events with polystyrene particles functionalized with the complementary partner sequence. Overall, our studies indicate that these DNA-loaded, uncrosslinked gelatin carriers represent a promising system for triggered release of encapsulated oligonucleotides for a variety of bio-related applications. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
