Genetically engineered gene products are available for
clinical use. Recombinant human insulin first became available
in 1982. The production of human gene products by
recombinant DNA techniques ensures that adequate supplies
are available for clinical use and produces products that may be
less immunogenic than those extracted from animals. In some
cases transgenic animals have been created that produce
human gene products as an alternative to cloning in microbial
systems.
