1. Following are several further results that you get from your cancer research. For each result, list the type of array or type of experiment that could have been used to do the study. a. Tissue biopsies were taken from cancer patients. Normal cells were found to have CD81 antigen on their cell surface but stage 4 cancer cells are lacking the antigen; confirming the microarray results. b. Out of thousands of possible therapeutic agents (drugs) that were screened, seven were found to bind to Annexin I. c. In pancreatic cancer there are gains in chromosomes 1q, 2, 3, 5, 7p and losses in 1p, 3p, 6, and 9p.

Figure 17.15 In 2011, the United States Preventative Services Task Force recommended against using the PSA test to screen healthy men for prostate cancer. Their recommendation is based on evidence that screening does not reduce the risk of death from prostate cancer. Prostate cancer often develops very slowly and does not cause problems, while the cancer treatment can have severe side effects. The PCA3 test is considered to be more accurate, but screening may still result in men who would not have been harmed by the cancer itself suffering side effects from treatment. What do you think? Should all healthy men be screened for prostate cancer using the PCA3 or PSA test? Should people in general be screened to find out if they have a genetic risk for cancer or other diseases?
You have decided to combine your love of biology and your love of dogs to train dogs to detect cancer. You can reliably train dogs to detect cancer with a high degree of accuracy. The dogs are able to detect the cancer simply by sniffing clothing that had been worn by the patient and so there is no contact between the dog and the patient. Since there are no risks from the test, and you know that cancer caught early is often treatable you are keen to develop your idea further. What possible negative consequences would need to be considered before concluding that this type of screening test should be more widely used? You may select more than one answer. a. Risks associated with further tests such as biopsies to type and stage the cancer. b. Risks associated with surgical interventions to remove the cancer. C. Risks associated with chemotherapy used post surgery.

Lymphocytes were removed from a SCID patient, the normalADA gene was transferred into the lymphocytes via a retrovirus,and then the lymphocytes were returned to thepatient’s body.d.
