The prospect of using gene therapy to alleviate genetic conditions is still a vision of the future. Gene therapy for adenosine deaminase deficiency has proved to be quite promising, but many obstacles remain to be overcome. Currently, the correction of human genetic defects is done using retroviruses as vectors. For this purpose, viral genes are removed from the retroviral genome, creating a vector capable of transferring human structural genes into sites on human chromosomes within target-tissue cells. Do you see any potential problems with inserting pieces of a retroviral genome into humans? If so, are there ways to combat or prevent these problems?
Drug 2-Lumacaftor (VX-809): In people with the most common CF mutation, F508del, a series of problems prevents the CFTR protein from folding into the correct shape and reaching its proper place on the cell surface. The cell recognizes the protein as abnormal and targets it for degradation before it makes it to the cell surface. In order to treat this problem, two drugs are required - an agent to get the protein to the surface and then Ivacaftor to open the channel and increase chloride transport. The drug Lumacaftor has been identified as a treatment to help with the trafficking of the protein to the cell surface. When Lumacaftor is added to Ivacaftor, the protein gets to the surface and also increases chloride transport by increasing channel opening time. For which class(es) of mutations would Lumacaftor be most effective?

PeptiDream has developed a technology to create cyclic peptides. Which of the following is TRUE about the technology they developed? O They adopted Antisense Technology to incorporate cyclic peptides to the antisense drug which has improved therapeutic effect. O They utilized HTPathwaySeq, which is an RNA-seq based drug screening platform to characterize therapeutic molecules including cyclic peptides O They combine the technology of mRNA display and Flexizyme to put an unnatural amino acid onto a tRNA which goes into the in vitro translation system O They took advantage of the SYNTHORUNTM Technology Platform, which expands the genetic code by adding a new DNA base pair in order to incorporate unnatural amino acid.
