Recombinant DNA Project Registration

Instructions

The Biosafety Committee monitors the use of recombinant DNA at California State University, Dominguez Hills. All recombinant DNA projects require registration with the CSUDH Biosafety Committee.

Projects that require registration:

Projects that involve a living recombinant organism require registration with the CSUDH Biosafety Committee. Projects that require registration include those in which the only recombinant activity is the growing of plasmid in E. coli to make probes, the use of transgenic or knock-out animals, and experiments in which genes are cloned for site-directed mutagenesis. All (non-exempt, see below) projects will be initially reviewed by the Biosafety Committee and shall be updated whenever there is a change in procedure and personnel. In addition, projects will be updated and reviewed annually by the Office of Risk Management/Environmental Health & Occupational Safety (RM/EHOS).

Projects that do not involve living recombinants, e.g. the use of PCR and/or oligonucleotides alone, do not require registration.

Exempt projects:

The RM/EHOS office will review all projects and determine which projects are exempt and which require Biosafety Committee review. Exempt projects will require initial registration only, not annual updating. The RM/EHOS will notify you if your project is determined to be exempt.

Completing the form:

Location of the project: This information will be used to determine if the facility meets any special requirements to complete the project safely.

Animal use: The IACUC number is required if animals are used in conjunction with a recombinant DNA project.

Biological agent use: Complete this box if any infectious or regulated biological agents are used in the project. If so, please complete the bio-agent form also.

Isotope use: Complete this box if radioactive materials are used in the project.

Purpose: Use one sentence to outline the purpose of the project.

Technical description of the project: Describe the project to give the Biosafety Committee reviewers an understanding of the project.

If using viral vectors, mention the virus upon which the vector is based. List the amount of vector to be applied to cells or animals and the concentration used.

If applying recombinant virus or microorganisms to animals, list the amount and concentration of the vector or organism to be applied. Describe the application to the animal, i.e. injection, nasal application, applied through a cannula, etc. List any safety factors that you have already considered, like the use of blunt or self-sheathing needles or the use of a nasal inhalation containment device.

If using animals, describe the incubation period and what will be harvested or observed in the animal at the conclusion of the incubation period.

Describe the reason for using the specific genes and vectors, what outcome is expected, and what will be analyzed and/or measured.

Deliberate expression of genes: Answer yes or no. The information is used in conjunction with the NIH Guidelines to assess the appropriate containment level.

Production of toxins: Answer yes or no. The information is used in conjunction with the NIH Guidelines to assess the appropriate containment level.

Vectors: Please list vectors by name (e.g. pUC 18, pBS KS+, pTRUF-11) that will be used in the project. For vectors that are not commonly used or commercially available, please include a map detailing the regions of interest. The map may be hand drawn or a photocopy from a research article. The information is used to assess the appropriate containment level for each project.

Strains: List by strain name (e.g. HB101, JM109, 293T cells) any E. coli, other bacterial, yeast, insect, tissue culture, packaging, or other cells used for cloning, production, or expression in the project.

Genes: List the name of the nucleic acid sequence, gene, or protein that it encodes (green fluorescent protein, LacZ, DNA binding protein). For unknown genes, list the putative function. Please also list the source of DNA (human, murine, maize, Drosophila, etc.).

Bio-safety level and NIH Guideline citation: Use the web site http://www4.od.nih.gov/oba to find the NIH Guidelines online. Alternatively, leave this section blank and the RM/EHOS office will complete it for you.

Health Surveillance: Not all projects require health surveillance. Check the Agent List (attached) for use of biological agents that require health surveillance. For example, the use of vaccinia vectors or poliovirus may require immunization, the use of HIV may require testing and serum banking, and the use of Mycobacterium tuberculosis may require annual TB skin tests.

Personal Assurance Statement: All personnel, including other faculty, who work on a particular project must sign that they understand and will abide by the NIH Guidelines for Recombinant DNA Research. The Principal Investigator shall sign the statement assuring that all personnel will be trained and that the PI is responsible to ensure compliance with the guidelines.

Biosafety Committee Chair signature: Rarely, the Biosafety Committee Chair will be required to sign for a particular project. The CSUDH RM/EHOS will secure this signature.

Biological Safety Officer signature: In some cases, the RM/EHOS will sign or otherwise designate that a facility is in compliance with the NIH Guidelines.

For additional information, please contact the CSUDH Risk Management / Environmental Health & Occupational Safety, at 243-3995.

Biological WasteDisposal Policy

This policy is intended to provideguidance and insure compliance with the

NIH/CDC guidelines

Infectious/potentially infectious/R-DNA

a) human pathogens

b) animal pathogens

c) plant pathogens

d) recombinant DNA

e) human and primate blood, bloodproducts and other body fluids

f) human and primate tissue

g) any material containing orcontaminated with any of the above (test tubes,

needles*, syringes, tubing, culturedishes, flasks, etc.)

This waste must be inactivated prior todisposal. The preferredmethod is

steam sterilization (autoclaving),although chemical inactivation or incineration

may be appropriate in some cases.Storage of non-inactivated waste is restricted

to within the generating laboratory. Thematerial may not be stored longer than

     24 hours prior toinactivation.

Regulated BiologicalMaterials

Agents, such as plant pathogens orexotic microorganisms, that are regulated by

federal or state agencies (USDA/APHIS,EPA, FDA, DPI, etc.) shall be registered

with the RM/EHOS by submission of aphotocopy of the permit and

permit conditions that have been grantedby that agency. No special form is

required unless theagent fits into one of the first three categories.

Agents List

The following agents have been listedaccording to the most appropriate

Biological Safety Level to be used. Thelist presented below is based upon the

risk groups given in Appendix B of theMarch 1996Guidelines for Research

Involving Recombinant DNA Molecules(NIH Guidelines), the agentsummary

statements in the CDC/NIH publication,Biosafety in Microbiological and

Biomedical Laboratories (BMBL),3rdedition (1993), guidance from state andlocal

regulatory agencies, and recommendationsof the CDC.

Please note that Biological SafetyLevels are not inherent to an agent but are

performance recommendations and shouldbe chosen after a risk assessment is

completed.

A proper risk assessment takes intoaccount the characteristics of the agent

involved, the activities to beperformed, and the environment in which the work

will be completed. Therefore, certainagents may be used at different Biological

SafetyLevels depending upon the circumstances. For instance, human clinical

samples from HIV-positive patients maybe safely handled at BSL-2. Growth of

HIV in culture should be performed underBSL-3 containment. Biological Safety

Levels may be higher or lower than whatis given below for a particular agent

depending upon the circumstances of itsuse.

The RM/EHOSreviews all projects involving recombinant DNA, infectious disease agents, andagents of concern to livestock and agriculture and will assist you in the riskassessment process. Once the Biosafety Committee and/or the RM/EHOS assigns aBiological Safety Level, it must be adhered to unless new information to warranta change, in most cases from peer-reviewed literature, is provided. TheBiosafety Committee and/or RM/EHOS will review the literature and make anadjustment, if warranted.

Biological SafetyLevel 1 (BSL-1)

Agents that are not associated withdisease in healthy adult humans, are of

minimal potential hazard to laboratorypersonnel, and of minimal potential

hazard to the environment may be used atBSL-1. Agents that may be used at

BSL-1 includeLactobacillusspp.,asporogenicBacillus subtilisorBacillus

licheniformis,Escherichia coli-K12 (cloning strains), Baculoviruses, and adeno-associatedvirus types 1 through 4.

Those agents not listed under BiologicalSafety Levels 2, 3 and 4 are not

automatically orimplicitly classified in BSL-1; a risk assessment must be

conducted based on the known andpotential properties of the agents and their

relationship to agents that are listed.

Biological SafetyLevel 2 (BSL-2)

Agents to be used at BSL-2 areassociated with human disease which is rarely

serious and for which preventive ortherapeutic interventions are often available.

They are of moderate potential hazard tolaboratory personnel and/or the

environment.
