Nearly all gene therapies currently available use following vectors EXCEPT

In gene therapy, what is a vector?a.A type of virusb.A genetic mutationc.A vehicle to deliver a gened.A scientific experiment

Which of the following statements are correct about gene therapy?SELECT ALL THAT APPLYEngineered adenoviruses and retroviruses are the most common viruses used in gene therapy clinical trials.Retroviruses must be engineered with newer CRISPR-Cas9 systems to induce them to integrate into the host cell genome.The goal of gene therapy is to replace an abnormal human gene with a normal, functional gene.Most gene therapies are targeting infectious agents that cause human disease.Adenoviruses integrate quickly into host cell genomes, so they are highly effective in effecting permanent genetic editing in standard gene therapy.The viruses are genetically engineered to be nonpathogenic, but they must remain infectious in order to deliver their genetic cargo to host cells.

Antivirals do not target __________.ANSWERviral assemblyviral attachmentviral ribosomesviral replication

hat is a potential challenge in gene therapy related to immune response?a.Immune rejection of the therapeutic vectorb.Rapid degradation of therapeutic genesc.Lack of therapeutic genesd.Overexpression of target genes
