Oligosaccharide-plasmid DNA conjugates were synthesized simply and effectively via the diazocoupling method. Plasmids (pUC19, pTRI-beta-actin, and pEGFP-C1) were treated with an N-beta-lactoside-substituted diazonium salt to yield diazocoupling products with degree of substitutions of 2.5-3.1 mol% of overall nucleobases. The lactose-pUC19 conjugate was found to resist restriction enzymes more strongly than the nonconjugated plasmid DNA and to acquire a strong binding affinity to galactose-specific lectin RCA(120). The diazocoupling modification of pTRI-beta-actin plasmid DNA little influenced in vitro transcription with T7 RNA polymerase. When lactose-pEGFP-C1 conjugate was transfected to baby hamster kidney (BHK) cells by means of cationic lipids, transduced gene was expressed in BHK cells similarly with the nonconjugated pEGFP-C1. The modification of plasmid DNA with carbohydrate enhanced the resistance to restriction enzymes and developed a strong binding affinity to galactose-specific lectin.
