vectors of genes

        Help!  

Term
Definition
plasmid   any size gene and DNA, no cell specificity, no immune response trigger, doesn't insert itself into the middle of chromosome, less efficient at entering cells, needs a helper virus to replicate.  
🗑
liposome   genes of any size and DNA, no cell specificity, unlikely to trigger immune response, will not integrate into the host cells genome, less efficient  
🗑
herpes virus   carry a gene up to 20,000 bp and DNA, nervous system cells only, unlikely to trigger immune response but can cause one, will not integrate into the host cells genome, less efficient  
🗑
adeno-associated virus   carry a gene up to 5,000 bp and DNA, enter dividing and non dividing cells and variety of cell types, unlikely to trigger immune response, will integrate making effects long lasting, efficient at entering cells, helper virus to replicate  
🗑
adenovirus   carry a gene up to 7,500 bp and DNA, enter dividing and non dividing cells and variety of cell types, can cause an immune response, will not integrate so effects are temporary, efficient at entering cells  
🗑
retrovirus   carry a gene up to 8,000 bp and RNA, only effects dividing cells, can cause an immune response, will integrate making effects long lasting, only infects dividing cells, can cause cancer, not efficient at entering cells  
🗑
lentivirus   gene up to 8,500 bp & RNA, enter dividing and non dividing cells & variety of cell types, unlikely to cause immune response, will integrate making effects long lasting, efficient at entering cells so high levels of therapeutic protein production, cancer?  
🗑
Cas 9   edits DNA in cells, potential to treat genetic disease, defeat viruses, produce better crops. binds to PAM sequence, unwinds DNA, bind guide RNA to complementary target DNA strand,  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
