Question

The name of the drug used in cancer treatment produced by biotechnology is:
A. Interferon    
B. Hgh
C. TSH
D. Insulin

Answer 1

Hint: Cancer is a disease where some of the body’s cells grow uncontrollably and spread to other portions of the body.  Treatments for cancer involve chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation therapy, and also newer methods such as immunotherapy and interventional radiology. 
Complete Step-by-step answer:
The name of the drug used in cancer treatment produced by biotechnology is interferon.
Interferons are a family of naturally arising proteins that are made and secreted by cells of the immune system. 
Interferons can promote or inhibit the ability of some cells to distinguish i.e., to become specialised in their function. They can suppress cell division, which is one reason why they hold promise for stopping cancer growth. 
Commercially available interferons are human interferons produced by using recombinant DNA technology.
HGH, generated by the pituitary gland, spurs growth in adolescents and children. It also helps to control body composition, sugar and fat metabolism, muscle and bone growth, and body fluids, probably heart function.
TSH denotes thyroid stimulating hormone. A TSH test is a type of blood test that measures this hormone. TSH levels that are too low or too high may be a sign of a thyroid problem. The thyroid is a small, butterfly-shaped gland in the front of the human neck.
Insulin is a hormone that is generated by the pancreas that controls the amount of glucose in the bloodstream at any moment. It also stores glucose in the fat, liver, and muscles. Finally, it controls the body’s metabolism of fats, carbohydrates, and proteins.
Therefore the correct answer is Option A.
Note: Interferons are a class of antiviral proteins that act like immune regulators or lymphokines generated by infected cells in response to viral infections. Interferons were generated widely by recombinant DNA technology. IFN-α is used to treat hepatitis B.
