Chapter 14, Problem 17RE
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The choice of a vector in gene therapy is to be considered.
Concept introduction:
HIV consists of single-stranded RNA in the replication form that has been transcripted into double-stranded DNA. HIV spreads slowly, but is lethal for the human immune system.
Gene therapy or human gene transfer is the therapeutic transfer of
