Lab Accident

Blue

New member
I have a question. In the following lab incident, would anyone know if
there was any danger in using some of the H5N1 virus with another
virus, H3N2 as illustrated in the following incident?

I may not be phrasing my question quite right, but I think that you know
what I mean. Why would they expose one virus to another this way
regardless of whether or not an accident occurred?

Is this wise?

If you scroll down the link to the 10 questions:

Question 1: Recently, UT has stated that the virus only contained one gene from H5N1 and has specified that this gene was a non-structural gene. Yet the UT accident report refers to "some genes" from H5N1, and the minutes of the UT Institutional Biosafety Committee specifically state that "The virus had H5N1 structural proteins included". Please explain these discrepancies and provide the genetic composition of the virus involved in the accident.
