Vedclass · Answer

(C) In gene therapy for $ADA$ deficiency,functional $ADA$ genes are introduced into the patient's lymphocytes. These lymphocytes are cultured outside the body and then re-infused into the patient. However,these genetically engineered lymphocytes are not immortal; they have a finite lifespan and eventually die. Therefore,the patient requires periodic infusions of these cells to maintain the production of the $ADA$ enzyme.
