Recombinant Medicines

Studies of bacteria and bacterial viruses have contributed to methods of modifying and recombining DNA in specific and reproducible ways, and millions of times amplifying these recombined molecules. The recombinant DNA molecules can be used in medicine and human biology in different forms when properly identified. The recombinant DNA technology has many uses. Cloned complementary DNA has been used in micro-organisms to generate different human proteins. Recombinant technology, or genetic engineering, is a modern method used for therapeutic agent synthesis. The main theme of recombinant technology is the ìgene cloningî process, which consists of the production A defi ned DNA fragment and its distribution and replication through an effective host cell. Drugs produced through recombinant or genetic manipulation are known as biologics, biopharmaceutics, recombinant DNA  Drugs produced, bioengineered, or genetically modified. Insulin and growth hormone in humans were extensively and successfully tested, and insulin was approved for sale. Mass production of bacterial and viral antigens using recombinant DNA technology is likely to provide safe and efficient vaccines for certain diseases for which no treatment is needed. The cloned samples for human α- and β-globin loci, unique disease genes such as the Z allele of α-antitrypsin, and random genomic sequences are useful for the prenatal diagnosis and prevention of human genetic disorders.
