Chapter 22, Problem 9EQ
Summary Introduction
To review:
Molecular pharming and its advantage over the production of proteins by bacteria.
Introduction:
The production of foreign proteins by bacteria involves selection of the desired gene, incorporation in bacteria genome, and cloning of the gene for production of proteins. For example, human insulin is produced in E. coli, the production of plant genes in Agrobacterium tumefaciens, and others.
