Submission of New BUA • New infectious agents • New cell lines • New vector system • Enhanced replication or infectivity • Expression of toxic products • Partial genomes increased to more than two-thirds of whole genome • New or altered procedures that pose increased risk (e.g., aerosol or other type of exposure) • Work with non-human systems being changed into work with human system
SDSU Biosafety Approval Institutional Biosafety Committee (IBC) • Protocol Review • Biological Use Authorization (BUA) with respect to containment level (biosafety level) • Training • Inspection
