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.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
