vector for human insulin production
by: Rashmi Chowdhary

The insulin mRNA from several other mRNAs is separated from beta-pencreatic cell; is used as a template for the synthesis of human insulin cDNA by Reverse Transcription. cDNA contains all the coding regions of the insuline gene. cDNA is cloned into plasmid vector for in vivo amplification.

vector carrying the gene
by: Anonymous

Actually the virus acts as a vector in carrying genes to the bacteria, that is virus affecting bacteria, bacteriophage. Here the bacteriophage goes and attach to the surface of the bacteria and injects the viral dna containing the gene to be inserted.
