Bacteria engineered to mass produce human interferon
Swiss researchers splice the human interferon gene into a common bacterium, enabling large scale production of the antiviral protein. Harvard and Stanford teams note recombinant DNA advances, predicting cost reductions from fifty thousand dollars per treatment to a dollar or two per shot.
