The NGVL consist <strong>of</strong> three vector production facilities<br />
located at Indiana University, Baylor College <strong>of</strong> Medicine,<br />
and the City <strong>of</strong> Hope/Beckman Research Institute.<br />
Two pharmacology/toxicology centers have been established<br />
at the University <strong>of</strong> Florida and Southern Research<br />
Institute. The production sites will generate clinical grade<br />
adenoviral, adeno-associated virus, DNA plasmid,<br />
lentivirus, herpes simplex virus and retrovirus vectors for<br />
Phase I/II gene therapy protocols, while the pharmacology/toxicology<br />
centers will provide support for investigators<br />
needing such studies for their clinical protocols.<br />
Requests for vector production and/or pharmacology/<br />
toxicology support will be reviewed by the Scientific<br />
Review Board and Steering Committee <strong>of</strong> the NGVL<br />
with selection based upon scientific merit, feasibility and<br />
availability <strong>of</strong> NGVL resources. If the application is<br />
approved through the Steering Committee, clinical grade<br />
materials and pharmacology/toxicology studies will be<br />
provided without charge for human gene therapy trials.<br />
An application packet can be downloaded from the<br />
NGVL website at http://www.ngvl.org or obtained<br />
through the Coordinating Center.<br />
