Question
Chapter 18, Problem 32P
Summary Introduction
a.
To determine:
The difference in the mode of transmission of therapeutic genes delivery by retrovirus and AAV vectors.
Introduction:
Retroviral vectors are constructed by using RNA (Ribonucleic acid) containing retroviruses, whereas AAV vectors are made up of adeno-associated viruses.
Summary Introduction
b.
To determine:
The advantage and disadvantage of retroviral vectors and AAV vectors.
Introduction:
Vectors act as the carriers for the transfer or delivery of specific genes inside the genome of organisms. The mode of transmission varies with different types of vectors.
