1.2 The Increasing Variety of Biotechnology Products
Bioengineered ProductsAs the methods of manipulating living things have become more sophisticated, the number and variety of biological products have increased at an incredible rate.
Genetically modified organisms – organisms that contain DNA from another organism and produce new proteins encoded on the acquired DNA
Gene Engineered Plant. The organism that gets the new genes will then have the potential to express the new traits coded in the newly acquired genes.
Producing Genetically Engineered t-PA.
Humans make only a small amount of human tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) naturally. By genetically modifying Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, scientists can make large amounts of t-PA for therapeutic purposes, such as to clear blood vessels in the event of a heart attack or stroke.

Situations That End Product Development• Product development is stopped if testing shows the product is not effective.• When this happens, companies can lose millions of dollars and years of
research and development time.
New non-pharmaceutical products must meet EPA and USDA guidelines.
Pharmaceutical products must pass clinical trials on human subjects (2-5 years) to receive FDA approval.
