University of Illinois, Chicago

NURS 531

Chapter 59: Biopharmaceuticals and gene therapy

MULTIPLE CHOICE

1)A tetracycline-inducible system has been used experimentally to control the expression of

hemoglobin
erythropoietin
insulin
thyroxine
growth hormone

2. Transfection of the herpes simplex virus gene for thymidylate kinase enables tumor cells to activate

methotrexate
cytarabine
foscarnet
fluorouracil
ganciclovir

3. The first proof of gene therapy was obtained by transfection of the gene for

hemoglobin
erythropoietin
adenine deaminase
a1-antitrypsin
phosphorylase

4. Clinical trials are in progress involving injection of adenoviral vectors containing the human p53 tumor suppressor gene into

head and neck tumors
ovarian tumors
breast tumors
glioblastoma
colon tumors

5. Oral gene therapy may be possible using

viral vectors for gene transfection
microspheres loaded with plasmid DNA
liposomes containing plasmids
naked plasma DNA
DNA enclosed in cyclodextrin

6. One of the disadvantages of using adenoviruses as vectors for gene transfection is the

long-lasting expression of the transfected gene
transfer of genes to the cytoplasm
strong host immune response
persistence of the vector in nervous tissue
incorporation of the virus into host DNA

7. Retroviral vectors are used to transfer

genomic DNA
single-stranded DNA
transfer RNA
messenger RNA
a RNA-DNA hybrid
