The human protein named - 1 -antitrypsin, obtained from transgenic animals, is used for the treatment of :

Options

  1. AEmphysema
  2. BAlzheimer's disease
  3. CRheumatoid arthritis
  4. DCystic fibrosis

Correct answer

A. Emphysema

Step-by-step solution

Transgenic animals that produce useful biological products can be created by the introduction of 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. Similar attempts are being made for the treatment of phenylketonuria (PKU) and cystic fibrosis. Answer: Emphysema
