TABLE VI

Some Considerations for Introducing New Virus Detection Technologies

• Demonstrate that test article components do not interfere
    – Intact cells or lysate of cells and culture medium
    – Unprocessed bulk harvest
    – Cell-free supernatant
    – Final product
• Include relevant and appropriate controls to determine assay specificity and sensitivity
• Develop standards for assay validation
• Define path for follow-up of results
• Update the databases with novel viruses
