This is a key difference between drug therapy and gene therapy. Drugs sent into the body have their effect for a while, and then are eventually broken up or passed out. Gene therapy, on the other hand, gives the body the ability to manufacture the needed protein or enzyme or other bodily chemical itself. The new genes can last for a few weeks or can become a permanent part of the patient’s genome. The difference in duration is a result of the kind of gene vector used and where it delivers its payload of DNA. Almost all of the DNA you carry is on twenty three pairs of chromosomes that are inside the nucleus of your cells. The nucleus forms a protective barrier shielding your chromosomes from damage. It also contains sophisticated DNA repair mechanisms that patch up most of the damage that does occur.
