Which vehicles are most commonly used for gene therapy to transfer a healthy gene?
- Virus
- Bacteria
- Plastic capsules
- Plasmids
Hint:
The causative organism for influenza, AIDS, etc.
The correct answer is: Virus
Alterations to the genetic material can be caused using carriers called as vectors. Viruses are the most often utilized vectors in gene therapy because they naturally introduce their own genetic material into human cells.
