Question

Genetically engineered insulin is considered better for human diabetic patients over that isolated from animals because __________________.

• A. Insulin expressed in bacterial cells are low molecular weight.
• B. Insulin from other animals are not pure
• C. Genetically engineered insulin will not elicit immune response in human body.
• D. Genetically engineered insulin is easily transported through blood stream.

Answer 1

The correct option is C Genetically engineered insulin will not elicit immune response in human body.

Answer is option C i.e. "Genetically engineered insulin will not elicit immune response in human body"

Insulin from animal source causes patients to develop allergy or other types of reactions. Insulin produced using rDNA techniques is directly assembled into mature form and hence are more safe.

Genetically engineered insulin do not induce unwanted immunological responses and also do not elicit an immune response in the human body.
