Recombinant DNA technological processes have made immense impact in the area of healthcare by enabling mass production of safe and more effective therapeutics. Since the recombinant therapeutics are identical to human proteins, they do not induce unwanted immunological responses and are free from risk of infection as was observed in case of similar products isolated from non-human sources. Human insulin is made in bacteria yet its structure is absolutely identical to that of the natural molecule.
Assertion (A): Recombinant therapeutics are preferred over traditional animal-derived products. Reason (R): Recombinant therapeutics commonly induce unwanted immunological responses unlike products from non-human sources.
