Awhile ago, after the Lake Placid ISAC meeting, a committee was formed to draft
guidelines for sorting live infectious cells. This effort is headed up by
Ingrid Schmid at UCLA who has done a great job in organizing the information for
other to review. I would suggest an e:mail to her to determine the status of
these guidelines.

Subject: HIV+ cells/stream-in-air sorting/safety issues
From: Frederic Preffer <preffer@helix.mgh.harvard.edu> at Internet_Gateway

Can anyone refer me to any existing regulations/suggestions concerning
safety issues when it comes to cell sorting with UNFIXED samples known to be
from HIV+ patients, or cells purposely infected in vitro? In the absence
of known regulations, what precautions have you implemented in your facility
to insure the safety of the operator? For example, is a BL3 room a minimal,
adequate or more than necessary condition?
thanks
