The draft Canadian Council on Animal Care (CCAC) guidelines on antibody production are now available for review by CCAC constituents and other interested parties.
Please forward your comments, suggested amendments or corrections to Gilly Griffin, Ph.D., Director of Guidelines Development, ggriffin@bart.ccac.ca, by September 30, 2000.
The draft CCAC guidelines on antibody production have been developed by the CCAC subcommittee on immunological procedures: Drs. Albert Clark, Pam Ohashi, Michael Schunk, Fred Hart, Dean Befus, and Andy Fletch. The CCAC is grateful to these individuals for their valuable contribution during the drafting of these guidelines. In addition, an early draft of the guidelines was reviewed by a group of 16 experts, both from Canada and the United States, including representatives from the Canadian Society for Immunology. The important contribution of these experts is similarly recognized.
During October 2000, the responses received from this widespread review of the guidelines on antibody production will be evaluated by the subcommittee on immunological procedures and used to draft the final version of the guidelines. The CCAC guidelines on antibody production are scheduled for publication later in the fall of 2000, following approval by the CCAC Council. The guidelines will supercede the CCAC policy statement on acceptable immunological procedures.
