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.
