What is idiotyping technology?
Idiotypic antigens are clearly defined tumor-associated protein antigens, which can induce protective immunity against lymphoma. Because each patient requires an individual vaccine, idiotypic antigens also provide ideal candidates for exploring the feasibility of replacing protein antigens by DNA vaccines. Component idiotypic variable region genes can be identified in patients' tumor biopsies and rapidly assembled as scFv sequences. These can be used to produce recombinant scFv protein in bacteria, or as direct naked DNA vaccines. A preliminary small trial of DNA vaccines for chemotherapy-resistant patients with lymphoma has begun. Intramuscular idiotypic DNA vaccination in a mouse model induces low levels of anti-idiotypic antibody in serum. Levels can be increased dramatically by co-injection of DNA plasmids encoding either IL-2 or GM-CSF, and specific proliferative anti-idiotypic T cells are induced. However protective immunity remains to be demonstrated, and a possible reason for this may lie in the continued secretion of idiotypic scFv antigen which blocks antibody activity by formation of immune complexes. Methods for regulating secretion of antigen are required before this category of tumor antigen can be fully exploited as a vaccine. The power of DNA technology should allow analysis and manipulation of pathways of antigen presentation to induce maximal therapeutic attack on neoplastic B cells. In addition, lymphoma presents a model for application of DNA technology to the wide range of human tumors known to harbor potential tumor antigens.
Human insulin was the first commercially successful product made by recombinant DNA technology what year did this happen?
Human insulin was the first commercially successful product made by recombinant DNA technology in the year 1982.
Describe one similarity between PCR and recombinant DNA technology.?
PCR is the abbreviation for polymerase chain reaction. It is similar to recombinant DNA technology in that both have the ability to sequence DNA.
Why cleavage of DNA is done in recombinant DNA technology?
Recombinant DNA technology is the most emerging technique for the production of DNA for the useful bio-materials like insulin. So to produce recombinant DNA two different DNA is rejoined. so cleavage is done to extract the desired DNA and then joined again.
What is a DNA molecule containing regions from different sources?
A DNA molecule containing regions from different sources is called recombinant DNA. This is often created in laboratories by combining DNA from different organisms or through genetic engineering techniques. Recombinant DNA technology has many applications in biotechnology and genetic research.
What genetic technology is primarily responsible for the genetic technology revolution?
recombinant DNA
How is PCR and recombinant DNA technology similar?
PCR and recombinant DNA technology both involve manipulating DNA in the laboratory. PCR is a technique used to amplify specific DNA sequences, while recombinant DNA technology involves combining DNA from different sources to create a new DNA molecule. Both techniques have revolutionized the field of molecular biology and have numerous applications in research and biotechnology.
Methods of microbial strain improvement?
recombinant DNA technology
What is the substance required to cleave the vector DNA during recombinant DNA technology?
Restriction enzymes are the substances required to cleave the vector DNA during recombinant DNA technology. These enzymes recognize specific DNA sequences and cut the DNA at specific points, allowing for the insertion of foreign DNA fragments.
What is the product of crossing over called?
Recombinant DNA is the product of crossing over.
Splicing DNA from two different organisms produces a new DNA segment called?
When DNA contains parts from two or more organisms it is recombined. Recombinant DNA is often used in genetic engineering. A natural process of DNA recombination is called sexual reproduction.
What is used to make many copies of DNA?
Recombinant DNA technology PCR
What are the requirements for recombinant DNA technology?
Requirements for recombinant DNA technology include a vector (such as a plasmid or virus) to carry the desired DNA fragment, restriction enzymes to cut the DNA at specific sites, and DNA ligase to join the DNA fragments together. Additionally, cells capable of taking up and expressing the recombinant DNA are needed, along with appropriate selection markers to identify successfully transformed cells.
