Genetic Engineering Genetic Engineering- manipulating genes for practical purposes Examples 1. Medicine Many medicines, such as the ones used to treat burns, are produced by genetic engineering techniques. 2. Vaccines A person vaccinated with a genetically engineered vaccine will make antibodies against the virus. These antibodies will multiply in the person’s body, and will fight off the herpes virus if exposed. GOAL The long range goal of genetic engineering is to correct genetic defects by transferring normal genes to cells that lack them (“gene therapy”). Genetic engineering can also be used in agriculture. Genetically modified crops may be both beneficial and harmful Steps in Genetic Engineering Cloning
