A plasmid is a small, often circular DNA molecule, typically found in bacteria. In gene therapy, the gene of interest is typically added into a plasmid, which is then delivered to the target cell. Several methods, such as non-viral vectors and electroporation are used to facilitate plasmid delivery.
