Question

Explain the role of transgenic animals in Vaccine safety and Biological products with the help of an example each.

Answer 1

The gene that has been introduced into a cell organism is known as a transgene to distinguish it from the endogenous change. The animal carrying the introduced foreign gene is said to be a transgenic animal. Transgenic mice are been developed for use in testing the safety of vaccine before they are used on humans. Transgenic animals are specifically designed to allow the study of how genes are regulated, and how they affect the normal functions of the body and its development.
