Discussion
Match the recombinant proteins produced through molecular farming with their applications.
| Recombinant proteins | Applications |
|---|---|
| P. Hirudine | 1. HIV therapy |
| Q. Trichosanthin | 2. Anticoagulant |
| R. Somatotrophin | 3. Growth hormone |
| S. β-Interferon | 4. Hypertension |
| 5. Cystic fibrosis | |
| 6. Treatment for hepatitis-B |
Answer: D
The correct match is P-2, Q-1, R-3, S-6.
- Hirudin, the leech anticoagulant, has been produced in transgenic plants as an anticoagulant (P-2).
- Trichosanthin, a ribosome-inactivating protein from Trichosanthes kirilowii, was studied for HIV therapy (Q-1).
- Somatotropin is growth hormone (R-3).
- Interferons, antiviral cytokines, are used in treatment of hepatitis B (S-6).
The other options pair hirudin with hypertension or HIV, or somatotropin with hypertension or cystic fibrosis, none of which fits these proteins.
