Why can a person who is unable to produce insulin, be successfully treated with insulin derived from genetically modified bacteria?
◦ Human insulin was inserted into bacteria and when the bacteria reproduce, so too does the insulin.
◦ The insulin-producing gene of bacteria was altered to have the same base sequence as the human counterpart and now produces the human version of insulin.
◦ The gene that produces insulin in humans was inserted into the bacteria where it continues to produce human insulin.
◦ Typical bacterial insulin is exactly the same as human insulin.
