• Question: f you use yeast cells to make new drugs because they expand at a rapid rate , don\'t you think the virus could expand inside the human and if so you equipp it with speed aswell as ability to kill.or infect?

      The yeast cells would be used to make large amounts of certain drugs which would lower the cost of drug production, rather than being part of the drug itself.
      Hope this helps

      A virus growing in a human will not make as much of anything as yeast inside a bioreactor.
