As we have already discussed in Biotechnological Application in Medicines - Genetically Engineered Insulin -

 

  • In 1983, Eli Lilly, an American company prepared two DNA sequences corresponding to A and B, chains of human insulin and introduced them in plasmids of E. coli to produce insulin chains.
