The human protein obtained from transgenic animals used to treat emphysema is

Options

  1. AInsulin
  2. B-Lactalbumin
  3. C-1 antitrypsin
  4. D-Lactalbumin

Correct answer

C. -1 antitrypsin

Step-by-step solution

Transgenic animals are used to produce useful biological products by introducing the portion of DNA (or genes) which codes for a particular product. The human protein -1 antitrypsin is produced by transgenic animals and is used to treat emphysema. Insulin is produced using recombinant DNA technology in bacteria. -Lactalbumin is a human protein found in the milk of the first transgenic cow, Rosie. Answer: -1 antitrypsin
