Biosafety in Handling Gene Transfer Vectors

Abstract excerpt

This unit is devoted to safety issues that must be considered when generating and working with vectors for gene therapy. A short description of the relevant regulatory bodies and mechanisms is followed by a general discussion of containment and safety procedures. This is followed by vector-specific guidelines for nine commonly used vector systems, including adenovirus, vaccinia, HSV-1, lentivirus, and nonviral...
