The mono- clonal antibody that forms Herceptin was isolated by inoculating mice with cells expressing excess levels of human HER2 protein, followed by immunization of the murine antibody.

A DNA probe from the human HER2 gene was then used to discover HER2 gene amplification in human breast cancer. The process is known as recombinant DNA technique .

HER2 plays an important role in the signaling network that drives cell proliferation. Herceptin is believed to block intracellular signaling pathways. By attenuating the signal transduction downstream, Herceptin may promote apoptosis and arrest cell proliferation. Herceptin is the brand name of a medicine called trastuzumab. some common uses of Herceptin are they are used in treatment of breast cancer, esophageal cancer and stomach cancer.

Elis [28]

Answer:

The correct answer is - can be explained by the law of dominance.

Explanation:

In this experiment of Gregory John Mendel where he made a cross between a purebred tall plant and a purebred dwarf plant and in the first generation all the offspring were tall.

It can be explained by that every offspring get one allele from both parents and in purebred both alleles are either dominant or recessive and both parent plant gives one allele which makes a heterozygous condition in which the dominant allele masks the recessive allele and offspring express phenotype of the dominant parent.
