To understand the genes responsible for growth and infectivity in a disease-causing bacterial strain, you perform chemical mutagenesis on a culture of these bacteria. In the course of your investigation into the properties of the resulting mutants, you identify a set of mutant bacteria that is still viable but their virulence is significantly impaired. How might these mutants be useful for vaccine development?

Our understanding of the molecular biology of cancer formation has been greatly enhanced by studying oncogenic viruses. Answer the following questions regarding oncogenic retroviruses? Explain how a gain of function mutation in the Ras protein caused by a retrovirus might lead to cancer formation.
According to Research and Development department analysisresults, it was concluded that a two-stage control strategy wasoptimal for antibody production. In the first stage, conditions wereoptimized for cell growth. In the second stage, conditions werechanged to halt cell growth. Please answer the following questions in 1-2 sentences. (a) Why did they choose this two-stage approach? (b) How did they cause the cells to shift from a growth phase to a quiescent (non-growth) phase? (c)Please discuss which factors influence the choice of bioreactor design for optimal antibody production (Hint: The production of antibody which is anchorage-dependentsystems from continuous cell lines can be accomplished usingseveral bioreactor configurations, each of which was designed tosatisfy differing operational, product quality, economic, andproduction scale requirements.)
Heterotypic interactions of tumor cells have been a fertile area for potential therapeutic interventions. Find a specific example of a drug/therapy that targets these interactions and explain the mechanism by which it treats cancer.
