Abstract
The United States Pharmacopeia (USP) has published the first draft of a new information chapter on cell and gene therapy products in January, 2000. The chapter discusses the manufacturing and testing cell and gene therapy products. It is intended for people working in the field as well as for pharmacists and clinicians who would like more information on this subject. This article outlines the background of USP and explains how it became involved with cell and gene therapy and what an information chapter is. It details the subjects covered by the chapter and the philosophy behind the chapter. This draft will be revised based on comments received from the public and then published as a revision subject to further comments before it becomes an official chapter in a supplement to USP 24-NF 19.
