The use of transgenic animals, to produce relatively large quantities of rare proteins for use in medicine, is sometimes called:
1. | therapeutics | 2. | pharming |
3. | molecular treatment | 4. | biochemistry |
Recombinant therapeutic [used for treatment] products are available for all the following disorders except:
1. | Hemophilia A | 2. | Pituitary dwarfism |
3. | Diabetes insipidus | 4. | Anemia due to renal failure |
Prior to the production of recombinant human insulin, diabetic patients could use insulin isolated from cattle. Which of the listed items would not be a drawback to this procedure?
1. | Insulin from cattle is slightly different from human insulin, potentially leading to allergic reactions. |
2. | Members of some religions consider cattle sacred and thus are unable to use insulin isolated from cattle. |
3. | Infectious diseases may be transferred in the isolated insulin. |
4. | Despite the relatively stable supply of cattle pancreases from slaughterhouses, insulin isolated from cattle is still relatively expensive and is in, somewhat, limited supply. |
