Specialized vectors now enable genetic manipulation in diverse organisms, advancing biotechnology. This progress facilitates the production of pharmaceutical proteins and the development of novel vaccines and anti-viral agents.

Area of Science:

  • Molecular Biology
  • Biotechnology
  • Genetic Engineering

Background:

  • Early limitations in foreign gene expression (pre-1980) restricted manipulation to bacteria and simple animal cells.
  • Significant advancements in specialized vectors over eight years have expanded genetic manipulation capabilities to a broad spectrum of prokaryotic and eukaryotic systems.
  • The initial goal of using host cells as protein production 'factories' has yielded a new generation of pharmaceutical products.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To illustrate the fundamental concepts of expression vector design.
  • To discuss emerging goals in biotechnology driven by advances in host-vector systems.
  • To explore the application of novel host-vector systems for developing vaccines and anti-viral agents, particularly for AIDS.

Main Methods:
