GREETINGS,
16.30 TSE - Appreciation of surveillance and measures
The sourcing of ruminant material with negligible risk for TSE is crucial for any use in the pharmaceutical industry. Specified risk materials have been identified for cattle and small ruminants. However, importance also must be given to the national TSE situation of a given country. The risk assessment should include an appreciation of the risk factors, the regulatory measures and the surveillance system in place. The results on the full implementation of the measures have to be assessed.

16.00 KEYNOTE
US approaches to prevent contamination of FDA-regulated products with the agents of Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies (TSEs)
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates vaccines, human blood and tissue products, drugs, surgical devices, cosmetics, many foods, animal feeds and veterinary drugs. FDA, uses regulations and guidance to help prevent contamination of regulated products with agents causing various TSEs: bovine spongiform encephalopathy, Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD) and variant CJD.

Greetings List Members,
I was lucky enough to sit in on this BSE conference
call today and even managed to ask a question.
that is when the trouble started.
I submitted a version of my notes to
Sandra Blakeslee of the New York Times,
whom seemed very upset, and rightly
so.
"They tell me it is a closed meeting and
they will release whatever information
they deem fit. Rather infuriating."
and i would have been doing just fine,
until i asked my question. i was surprised
my time to ask a question so quick.
(understand, these are taken from my notes for now.
the spelling of names and such could be off.)
[host Richard Barns]
and now a question from Terry S. Singeltary of
CJD Watch.
[TSS]
yes, thank you,
U.S. cattle, what kind of guarantee can you
give for serum or tissue donor herds?
[no answer, you could hear in the back ground,
mumbling and 'we can't. have him ask the question
again.]
[host Richard]
could you repeat the question?
[TSS]
U.S. cattle, what kind of guarantee can you
give for serum or tissue donor herds?
[not sure whom ask this]
what group are you with?
[TSS]
CJD Watch, my Mom died from hvCJD and we are
tracking CJD world-wide.
[not sure who is speaking]
could you please disconnect Mr. Singeltary
[TSS]
you are not going to answer my question?
[not sure whom speaking]
NO
from this point, i was still connected, got to listen
and tape the whole conference. at one point someone
came on, a woman, and ask again;
[unknown woman]
what group are you with?
[TSS]
CJD Watch and my Mom died from hvCJD
we are trying to tract down CJD and other
human TSE's world wide. i was invited to
sit in on this from someone inside the USDA/APHIS
and that is why i am here. do you intend on banning
me from this conference now?
at this point the conference was turned back up,
and i got to finish listening. They never answered
or even addressed my one question, or even addressed
the issue. BUT, i will try and give you a run-down
for now, of the conference...........full text below ;
