To create a viral vector for delivery of genes into mammalian cells,the virus must be engineered to _____.
A)remove viral coat proteins
B)remove all viral genes,replacing them with the mammalian genes to be delivered
C)remove viral genes involved with virus replication and add mammalian genes to be delivered
D)remove the viral genome and coat proteins and replace them with recombinant plasmids carrying the mammalian genes to be delivered

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

For a viral vector to be used for delivery of genes into mammalian cells, it must be engineered to remove viral genes involved with virus replication and add mammalian genes to be delivered. This ensures that the viral vector does not replicate itself and cause harm, but instead delivers the desired genes to the target cells. Therefore, choice C is the best choice.
