Recombinant DNA technologies developed in the early 1970s enabled scientists to isolate genes of interest and splice them into existing DNA structures. However, as late as the early 1980s, the ...

In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv* preprint server, researchers developed a human endogenous retrovirus (HERV)-enveloped recombinant baculoviral deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) vaccine to target the ...

Recombinant antibodies (rAbs), also called genetically engineered antibodies, are produced by cloning the antibody which is made of light and heavy chain DNA sequences. In comparison to monoclonal ...
