Working genes have been inserted into defective cells during gene therapy by first isolating a copy of the gene. Next, the working genes are planted onto a cold virus and as the cold virus infects cells, it also begins producing functional CF protein. Since the cells are "cured", they are able to transport chloride ions across their plasma membranes.
The host cell would have transgenic DNA. A vector is often used to this.
The main purpose of gene therapy is in cancer or tumor. The main purpose of tumor is the uncontrolled cell division. The gene responsible for the uncontrolled cell division is replaced or removed by the gene therapy. Other main treatment which disease are caused by the defect of particular gene. Other purposes are against some hereditary diseases like Cystic fibrosis or Trisomy.
Gene therapy usually seeks to replace a defective gene in a cell with the correct one using a vector for delivery, often a virus. The result is the transformed cells will product the correct protein. Protein therapy usually refers to injecting a functional protein into a patient to compensate for its absence.

a copy of the inserted gene
Gene therapy
If a person is lacking a gene that causes a disorder, for example Diabetes, and a gene can be inserted into cells that require the gene, this would be gene therapy. Parkinson's disease and X-linked SCID are two that are be researched.

several genes may play a part in turning other genes on and off. For example, certain genes work together to stimulate cell division and growth, but if these are not regulated, the inserted genes could cause tumor formation and cancer

Gene therapy is considered as a risky business as it has a chance of promoting cancer if the inserted DNA placed in a wrong place (locus). Gene therapy is aimed to cure genetic diseases by inserting DNA or gene as a drug in the tissue or cells. Viral vectors are the vehicles used for this purpose.
The host cell would have transgenic DNA. A vector is often used to this.

Gene therapy is a method that aims to cure inherited diseases by providing the patient with correct copy of the defective gene. There are four potential approaches to gene therapy:1)Addition of normal gene to replace the function of defective gene. This is gene replacement orgene augmentation therapy.2)Replacing the defective gene with the correct gene. This isCorrective gene therapy.3)Establishment of alternative pathways that bypass mutant genes function4)Change in regulation of normal or mutant genesThe first two are the basic approaches in gene therapy
