At the March 15, 2006 RAC meeting, the RAC discussed the conduct of risk assessments and determination of containment for lentiviral vector research. The NIH Guidelines for Research Involving Recombinant DNA Molecules do not directly address the use of lentiviral vectors. To provide additional guidance to Institutional Biosafety Committees and investigators, OBA organized a working group of RAC and ad hoc reviewers with virology and biosafety expertise to develop some general criteria to be considered when conducting risk assessments for research involving lentiviral vectors.
