Recombinant Escherichia Coli is Used in the Production of the Following

Question

Recombinant Escherichia coli is used in the production of the following EXCEPT
A) interferon.
B) CC10 lung development protein.
C) human growth hormone.
D) insulin.
E) antibodies.

Accepted Answer

Recombinant Escherichia coli is widely used in biotechnology for the production of various proteins due to its rapid growth and well-understood genetics. However, it is not typically used for the production of antibodies. Antibodies are complex proteins that require post-translational modifications, such as glycosylation, which E. coli cannot perform. Mammalian cell lines or yeast are more commonly used for antibody production.
