CONNECTIONS
Recombinant DNA technology has provided many drugs to treat
serious medical conditions. Although early biotechnology drugs
were replacements for protein drugs produced from animal or
human tissues, other recombinant proteins and monoclonal
antibodies are novel and, through precise targeting of cell structures
uncovered by modern biologic research, provide powerful and safe
treatments for a wide range of conditions.
