1987年8月,休斯敦Baylor医学院的研究专家发表了两篇关于器官置换和组织移植,作为矫正代谢紊乱疾病的方法的实验技术进展的报告。在这两项研究中,研究人员是用重组DNA技术来矫正因某个基因或多个基因的缺陷以达到治疗身体不能产生某种蛋白质的疾病。Savio和他的同事已经成功地用重组逆转录病毒感染肝细胞,这些病毒使肝细胞产生一种新的蛋白质。研究指出,应用特定制 In August 1987, research experts at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston published two reports on experimental techniques for organ replacement and tissue transplantation as a means of correcting metabolic disorders. In both studies, researchers used recombinant DNA technology to correct a defect in a gene or genes to cure the body’s inability to produce a protein. Savio and his colleagues have successfully infected liver cells with recombinant retroviruses that cause the liver cells to produce a new protein. The study pointed out that the application of specific system
