...calculated shock treatment worked. Toiling through the night, Berg and his committee drafted recommendations that the conferees readily accepted before their departure the next day. They voted not only to continue the ban on the worrisome experiments, but also to press NIH to establish levels of safety that should be required for different experiments. In addition, they decided that precautions to keep research organisms from escaping from laboratories had to include "biological containment." This required the creation of mutated strains of E. coli so disabled that they could live nowhere but in a test tube. If they did escape their...
Despite the sniping, the NIH group by last summer managed to turn Asilomar's directive into concrete rules. The guidelines continue the ban against the potentially most dangerous experiments. They also provide two principal lines of defense against lesser hypothetical risks. They establish four levels of physical containment; these range from standard laboratory precautions (dubbed "P-l") for experiments in the lowest-risk category-say, injecting harmless bacterial genes into E. coli-to ultrasecure laboratories ("P-4") for work with animal tumor viruses or primate cells. At present, two new P-4 facilities are almost ready...
