Genetic Diagnosis and Gene Therapy
Gene Therapy
DEFINITION: Techniques to treat or prevent disease by modifying genes.PG 51-353
Antibodies
DEFINITION: Immune system proteins that recognize and neutralize pathogens. PG 443-445
Transgenic Plants
DEFINITION: Plants genetically engineered to express foreign genes for improved traits. PG 347-348
Agrobacterium tumefaciens
DEFINITION: A bacterium used to transfer genes into plants by natural genetic engineering PG 347
Bacillus thuringiensis
DEFINITION: Bacterium producing proteins toxic to insects; genes used in pest-resistant plants. PG 348
Flavr Savr Tomato
DEFINITION: The first genetically modified tomato designed for longer shelf life. PG 348
Transgenic Animals
DEFINITION: Animals genetically altered to carry genes from other species for research or agricultural benefits. PG 349
CONNECTIONS: Agrobacterium tumefaciens → Transgenic Plants
Used as a natural vector to insert foreign DNA into plant genomes.
CONNECTIONS: Bacillus thuringiensis → Transgenic Plants
Source of insecticidal genes inserted into plants for pest resistance.
CONNECTIONS: Flavr Savr Tomato → Transgenic Plants
Example of genetically engineered plant with delayed ripening.
CONNECTIONS: Gene Therapy → Antibodies
Gene therapy can modify immune cells to produce or enhance antibodies.
CONNECTIONS: Transgenic Animals → Gene Therapy
Animals engineered for studying gene therapy and producing therapeutic proteins.
