Viral vectors play a pivotal role in recombinant technology, serving as vehicles for delivering foreign genetic material into host cells. They are engineered viruses that have been modified to carry and express desired genes. Through their natural ability to infect cells and integrate their genetic material, viral vectors efficiently transfer genes into target cells. This technology has widespread applications in gene therapy, vaccine development, and gene editing. By utilizing viral vectors, researchers can introduce therapeutic genes into specific tissues to treat genetic disorders or deliver vaccines against infectious diseases. Adeno-associated virus (AAV), lentivirus, and adenovirus are commonly used viral vectors, each with unique properties and applications. Despite their potential, careful consideration of safety and immunogenicity concerns is essential in their design and implementation. Overall, viral vectors represent a versatile tool in recombinant technology, offering promising avenues for medical advancements.
