[Histonet] BSL-2 question

[Va Paula Sicurello]

Hello Everybody out there in virus land,

I am getting a room ready for BSL-2 level virus imaging.  I can't get any information regarding how safe the cells are once the virus has been transfected (?) in to them.

I have a BSL-2 level bio-hood, I have a room with a door and I have a brand, spanking new deconvolution with FRET and an incubator for live cell imaging.

I need to know if the people in the room are safe from the virus once it's inside the cells.  I can't get the air pressure changed in the room so I need to know what other precautions we might need to take.

Thanks to all who can give me any pertinent information.

Paula  :-)
