Cell culture is in vitro because (choose the best answer)?
- A.
  
  Cells are not touching each other
- B.
  
  Interactions with other cell types and 3D interactions are lost
- C.
  
  Cells have lost some proteins
- D.
  
  Changes occur in the cell membrane
Correct Answer
B. Interactions with other cell types and 3D interactions are lost

Explanation
in vitro studies are performed with microorganisms, cells, or biological molecules outside their normal biological context.

3.

For adherent cells, adhesion provides a signal for cells to do which of the following?
- A.
  
  Grow and divide
- B.
  
  Transduce differentiation signals
- C.
  
  Enhance survival
- D.
  
  All of the above
Correct Answer
D. All of the above

Explanation
Cell adhesion is the process cells interact and attach to a surface, substrate or another cell, mediated by interactions between molecules of the cell surface.

What does "CRISPR" stand for?
- A.
  
  Clustered Regularly Interdependent Short Palindromic Repeats
- B.
  
  Clustered Regularly Interference Short Palindromic Repeats
- C.
  
  Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats
- D.
  
  Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Polymer Repeats
Correct Answer
C. Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats

Explanation
CRISPR stands for Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats, which are the hallmark of a bacterial defense system which forms the basis for the popular CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing technology.

7.

What cell types can lentiviral vectors infect? (Check all that apply)
- A.
  
  Non-dividing cells only
- B.
  
  Actively dividing cells
- C.
  
  Quiescent cells
Correct Answer(s)
A. Non-dividing cells only
B. Actively dividing cells

Explanation
Lentiviruses can infect non-dividing and actively dividing cells. They are one of the most efficient methods of a gene delivery vector. The only cells lentiviruses cannot gain access to are quiescent cells (in the G0 state) because this blocks the reverse transcription step.

8.

TrueORF Gold ORF clones are the only expression validated cDNA clones.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
TrueORF Gold is OriGene’s collection of premium cDNA clones that have passed the ultimate tests: sequence verification and protein expression validation.

Rate this question:
9.

What genes control transgene packaging during lentiviral transduction?
- A.
  
  Vif, vpr, and vpu
- B.
  
  Env, nef, and pol
- C.
  
  Rev, gag, and pol
Correct Answer
C. Rev, gag, and pol

Explanation
Lentiviral vectors are derived from HIV. 3rd generation lentiviral systems have reduced the number of HIV genes required for transgene delivery to 3, rev, gag, and pol, improving the biosafety of the system.
