Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Bacteriophage integrates their genome into the bacterial cell. The horizontal gene transfer (HGT) causes the transfer of DNA from one cell to another. In this case, the phage infects the bacterial cell by integrating their genome into the bacterial genome. The phage genome then induces certain changes into the host genome that results in transformation of the host to virulent strain.

Introduction: There’s quite a bit of interest around repurposing extant drugs to treat infections by targeting host pathways that pathogens rely on. Here are a few potential drugs:
1) A drug that inhibits endocytosis, but not phagocytosis. 2) A drug that inhibits degradation of cytoplasmic proteins into smaller peptides, preventing their cycling back into amino acids. 3) A drug used to treat porphyria that reduces the reactivity of heme. 4) A drug that depletes glutathione, a chemical which protects red blood cells against the reactivity of heme. 5) A drug that reduces expression of the ACE-2 protein.
Question: Pick a drug and an infection that the drug is likely to be good at treating, or pick an infection and a drug that would most likely make the infection substantially worse. Which drug and pathogen did you pick? Do you think it’ll make it better or worse?
Which of the following is not associated with gene therapy SCID patients
A) utilizes an enzyme to repair the patient’s nonfunctioning ADA gene
B) isolation of patient cells
C) cloning of functioning a D a gene in bacteria
D) use of vector
