Explain gene therapy using adenovector

Gene therapy uses a vector to deliver a correct gene into cells to treat a genetic disorder.

Gene Therapy Using Adenovector:

• Adenovector – virus-based carrier used to deliver the correct gene
• Correct gene – healthy gene inserted into the vector
• Corrected gene – gene delivered into the cell
• Defective gene – faulty gene causing a disorder
• Nucleus – part of the cell containing genetic material
• Cell – target body cell receiving the corrected gene
