Independent Assays for Provings Virus Removal. Retrovimses and vimses can also be present in culture fluids of mammalian cell lines (15,24). Certainly the absence of vims can be difficult to prove. Model vimses, eg, NIH Rausher leukemia vims and NZB Xenotropic vims, were spiked into fluids being purified, and their removal subsequently vaUdated when subjected to the same purification sequence as used for the product. 

Unrestricted use of reclaimed wastewater for drinking water, however, requires careful examination. While practically a complete barrier to viruses, bacteria, and other toxic entities that must be kept out of a potable supply, RO membranes could pose serious problems should any defect develop in their separation mechanism. Given the purity and clarity of RO-treated wastewaters, however, it might be advantageous to use RO and then subject the product to well-established disinfection procedures. 

Linked to the filing and indexing requirement, this requirement addresses the conditions of storage and also provides the reasons i.e. to prevent loss. On the subject of loss, you will need to consider loss by fire, theft, and unauthorized removal. If using computers you will also need to consider loss through computer viruses and unauthorized access, deletion, or the corruption of files. A booking in/out system should be used for completed records when they are in storage, in order to prevent unauthorized removal. 

Substances that do not target the active site but display inhibition by allosteric mechanisms are associated with a lower risk of unwanted interference with related cellular enzymes. Allosteric inhibition of the viral polymerase is employed in the case of HIV-1 nonnucleosidic RT inhibitors (NNRTl, see chapter by Zimmermann et al., this volume) bind outside the RT active site and act by blocking a conformational change of the enzyme essential for catalysis. A potential disadvantage of targeting regions distant from the active site is that these may be subject to a lower selective pressure for sequence conservation than the active site itself, which can lower the threshold for escape of the virus by mutation. 

The first lead compounds for non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase (RT) inhibitors (NNRTl) were discovered about 15 years ago (Pauwels et al. 1990 Merluzzi et al. 1990 Goldman et al. 1991 De Clercq 1993 Riibsamen-Waigmann et al. 1997). Since then they have become an important ingredient of the dmg combination schemes that are currently used in the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HlV-1) infections. Starting from the HEPT and TIBO derivatives, numerous classes of compounds have been described as NNRTIs. Four compounds (nevirapine, delavirdine, efavirenz and etravirine) have so far been approved for clinical use and several others are the subject of clinical trials (Balzarini 2004 Stellbrink 2007). 

Diseases which will probably be subject to control by insecticides but have not yet been adequately tested include sandfly fever, dengue, urban yellow fever, bartonellosis, cutaneous leishmaniasis, Chagas disease, filariasis, trench fever, and louse-born relapsing fever. Some of the virus encephalitides. sleeping sickness, and visceral leishmaniasis may also be susceptible of control. 

The clinical potential of the fusion inhibitors in the therapy and/or prophylaxis of HIV infections remains a subject for further study. Since these compounds directly interfere with syncytium formation, they should be able to block HIV infections generated by both free virus particles and HIV-infected cells. It is not known how readily the virus may become resistant to this class of compounds. For betulinic acid, it has been ascertained that some HIV-1 strains (e.g., NDK) may be resistant ab initio.
