2. The TP53 gene normally functions as a tumor suppressor by preventing abnormal cell growth but is commonly found mutated in cancer cells, resulting in uncontrolled cell growth. You plan to use genetic tools to remove mutated TP53 from plasma cells. Answer the following questions. B) Is ex vivo or in vivo gene therapy/editing most appropriate? Explain why.
