title: PDA Virus Filter Task Force update.
abstract: The PDA Virus Filter Task Force has made significant progress in producing a method that will standardize the nomenclature for virus-removal filters that remove large viruses. A method for preparation of the model bacteriophage, PR 772, has also been produced and will shortly undergo a feasibility study. A technical report on the use of virus removal filters is also being prepared.
