Question

​​Would the insulin isolated from other animals be just as effective as that secreted by the human body itself and would it not elicit an immune response in the human body?

Answer 1

yes animal insulin is different as it has altered hypoglycemia but human insulin do has adverse effect on body same as that of animal insulin so it triggers no immune response

Answer 2

Answer:

No, the insulin that is isolated from other animals such as from cows(bovine) and from pig(porcine) is not as effective as that, which secreted from the human body.

As the earlier insulin bovine and porcine are antigenic and it elicits immune response also. It is because they possess a slightly different structure as that of human insulin. So in order to overcome these immune responses and antigenic property that arise from animal insulin human insulin was synthesized by using the recombinant DNA technology.
