murine retroviral sorting

All -
Does anyone have experience sorting retrovirus PRODUCING murine cells?
This would mean that potentially any one sorting after this experiment
would run the risk of infecting their cells.  The retrovirus in not
pathogenic to humans, but could screw up someone elses murine cells.  I see
the only real risk coming from aerosols.  

Any advice would be appreciated.

Julie
