Question

Name the drug used in cancer treatment produced by using biotechnology

Answer 1

Thanks for the question!

It is definitely a very interesting question to solve and do some brainstorming.

**************************************************
The drugs used for cancer treatment which are produced through the means of biotechnology are $\textbf{Interferons}$ or INFs and $\textbf{Interleukins}$ or ILs are two types of cytokines produced for therapeutically induced treatments for cancer patients. Cytokines are some proteinaceous signalling immune system substances which are produced through white blood corpuscles and assist in the mediation and maintenance of the immune responses received by the body and balance the need for inflammations in certain body parts as a immune response and also help in the formation of new red blood corpuscles. Types of Interferons alfa can inhibit the growth of cancer cells eventually leading to death of the cancer cells and enhancing the quality of life of patients through the activation of white blood corpuscles, further, activating natural killer T-cells and dendritic cells against the cancer cells. Interferons and Interleukins have proven as a effective anti-cancer agent too.
