Your research group is investigating the possible use of genetically- engineered cells to produce a vaccine for malaria. list the pros and cons of using
e. coli, saccharomyces, and animal cells to produce the vaccine,
Cons: The animal cells have a slow growth factor The E.coli needs to get rid of endotoxin from products. The E.coli needs to be modified since it does not secrete products naturally. The saccharomyces cells are not similar to human cells because they are fungi
Pros: From the engineered organism there is a horizontal gene transfer. There will be a better control of malaria in poor countries that do not have necessary resources. Large quantities of vaccines ill be produced cheaply
