Registration form updates made to the following questions:
5.2 | Revised question text: "Will you be administering recombinant DNA or cells containing recombinant DNA to animals? [ Yes or No] If yes, please choose which: (checkbox) I am administering rDNA directly to animals. (checkbox) I am administering cells containing rDNA to animals. Please also respond to the following three questions:" |
5.2.1 | Revise wording to: "What species of animal?" |
5.3 | previously was 5.4 |
5.4 | previously was 5.3 |
5.4 | Wording changed to "Can your recombinant DNA (other than an integrated transgene) replicate in the animal host?" |
8.7 | Added note to the question: "Even though your virus may be replication defective, it is still an infectious particle to which lab personnel may be accidentally exposed. Please consider this in answering this question." |
9.4 | Changed main question to read "How will your virus be grown?" Added text: "Important: One biosafety concern that arises during the growth of recombinant retroviruses and lentiviruses is the possible generation of replication competent retrovirus (RCR) or lentivirus (RCL). In general, transient transfection techniques such as those used by the UM Vector Core do not produce RCR or RCL, while other techniques may or may not. Please review the protocol details for production of your particular retrovirus/lentivirus so that you fully understand the potential for RCR or RCL generation, and check the applicable boxes: (checkbox) The UM Vector Core is producing my virus. (checkbox) I am growing the virus in my own lab using transient transfection. (checkbox) I am growing the virus in my own lab by creating a stable producer cell line. (checkbox) I am receiving the virus from another lab (inside or outside UM) that produces the virus using transient transfection. (checkbox) I am receiving the virus from another lab that produces the virus from a stable producer cell line." |
9.5 | Updated text after radio button, "If you checked 'no,' please explain what features your system for growing virus has such that replication competent virus will not be produced. How will you assay for the presence or absence of replication competent virus?" |
9.8 | Added note to the question: "Even though your virus may be replication defective, it is still an infectious particle to which lab personnel may be accidentally exposed. Please consider this in answering this question." |
10.7 | Added note to the question: "Even though your virus may be replication defective, it is still an infectious particle to which lab personnel may be accidentally exposed. Please consider this in answering this question." |
