Detailed explanation-1: -The first genetically engineered, synthetic “human” insulin was produced in 1978 using E. coli bacteria to produce the insulin. Eli Lilly went on in 1982 to sell the first commercially available biosynthetic human insulin under the brand name Humulin.

Detailed explanation-2: -In 1923, Lilly became the first company to commercialize insulin. Today, we are commemorating the centennial of insulin by recognizing the work of researchers, advocates and people living with diabetes.

Detailed explanation-3: -Overview. Recombinant human insulin was one of the first products of biotechnology. It was developed in response to the need for a consistent and sufficient worldwide supply. Recombinant human insulin replaced the animal insulins and semisynthetic insulins obtained by modification of animal insulins.

Detailed explanation-4: -Production of Genetic Engineered Insulin Human insulin is extracted from pancreas cells and an insulin-producing gene is isolated. 2. A plasmid DNA is extracted from a bacterium and cut with restriction enzyme, forming plasmid vector.

Detailed explanation-5: -15 October 1923 – insulin produced on a mass scale Eli Lilly become the first manufacturer to mass produce insulin and in October 1923 they began shipping the first commercial supply of insulin.
