Study Guide-Exam II Chapter 10 Know which recombinant proteins are approved for human use and what they are used for Know how to genetically engineer bacteria for expression of your favorite gene (YFG) Antibody structure and function with respect to disease therapy (eg., Herceptin) Compare and contrast: Ribozymes, antisense RNA, and RNAi (especially RNAi) Know the two types of gene therapy and the vectors used for gene therapy Explain how to treat cystic fibrosis and SCID using human gene therapy What are stem cells (embryonic and adult) and why are they of interest to the medical community? Compare and contrast human therapeutic cloning and mammalian cloning Chapter 11 Know how traditional vaccines are made (2 approaches); advantages and disadvantages of traditional vs rVaccines Structure of a typical animal virus Compare and contrast: subunit vaccine, peptide vaccine, DNA vaccine, vector vaccine Chapter 12 Realize that genetically engineering the gene encoding an enzyme can alter a naturally occurring pathway; give 2 examples Chapter 15 Know the biology of the Bt toxin (its synthesis, mode of action, and variants) What is a baculovirus and how can it be used a biocontrol agent? Chapter 17 Know the biology of the Ti plasmid and the binary Ti plasmid system Explain how the binary Ti plasmid system and the microprojectile bombardment (biolistic) system is used to genetically engineer plants (i.e., know how to genetically engineer plants for expression of your favorite gene) What are reporter genes and how do they work? Chapter 18 Know what genes have been genetically engineered in plants and what new traits are conferred as discussed in class Reasons for non-identical expression of foreign genes in genetically modified plants Standard testing of GM plants for transgene insertion, expression, and protein Chapter 19 Use of microinjection and engineered stem cells in creating transgenic animals Making and selecting genetically engineered stem cells for gene knockouts Cre-loxP system for gene knockouts Reasons for non-identical expression of foreign genes in genetically modified organisms (GMOs) Be familiar with the animal genetic engineering examples covered in class Methodology and applications of mammalian cloning via nuclear transfer Recent Nobel Prizes Why do think Nobel prizes were awarded to individuals who pioneered work with GFP and RNAi? YOU ARE TO WORK BY YOURSELF IN ANSWERING THESE 2 TAKE-HOME QUESTIONS! 2 Exam questions (Bring your typewritten answers to class; limit each answer to 1 single sided page) 1. Explain how you would go about creating a traditional vaccine for the H1N1 virus, and then explain how you could produce an effective recombinant subunit vaccine for this H1N1 virus in yeast. What are the advantages/disadvantages of each of these vaccines? (10 points) 2. Humans are now eating food from genetically modified organisms (GMOs), particularly from plants. Give five examples in which you identify the genetically engineered plant, the altered trait, and the gene construction responsible for this trait. List any concerns that opponents have expressed with regard to the specific examples you have selected. (10 points)
