The alternate layer‐by‐layer (LBL) deposition of polycations and polyanions for the build up of multilayered polyelectrolyte films is an original approach that allows the preparation of tunable, biologically active surfaces. The resulting supramolecular nanoarchitectures can be functionalized with drugs, peptides, and proteins, or DNA molecules that are able to transfect cells in vitro. We monitor, for the first time, the embedding of a bioactive adenoviral (Ad) vector in multilayered polyelectrolyte films. Ad efficiently adsorbs on poly( L ‐lysine)–poly( L ‐glutamic acid) (PLL–PGA), PLL–HA (HA: hyaluronan), poly(allylamin hydrochloride)–poly(sodium‐4‐styrenesulfonate) (PAH–PSS), and CHI–HA (CHI: chitosan) films; it preserves its transduction capacity (which can reach 95 %) for a large number of cell types, and also allows vector uptake into receptor‐deficient cells, thus abrogating the restricted tropism of Ad.
