Q. No.To produce human recombinant insulin, Eli Lilly:
1.
prepared two DNA sequences corresponding to A and B chains of human insulin and introduced them into plasmids of E. coli to produce insulin chains.
2.
prepared two DNA sequences corresponding to A and C chains of human insulin and introduced them in plasmids of Yeast to produce insulin chains.
3.
used reverse transcription of the hnRNA transcript of the insulin gene to make complementary DNA.

In gene therapy of Adenosine Deaminase (ADA) deficiency, the patient requires periodic infusion of genetically engineered lymphocytes because:
| 1. | Genetically engineered lymphocytes are not immortal cells. |
| 2. | Retroviral vector is introduced into these lymphocytes. |
| 3. | Gene isolated from marrow cells producing ADA is introduced into cells at embryonic stages |
| 4. | Lymphocytes from patient's blood are grown in culture, outside the body. |
