Officials are investigating how a handful of decades-old vials of smallpox made their way to an unused portion of a storage room at an FDA laboratory in Bethesda, Maryland. The vials, which the CDC says appear to date from the 1950s, were immediately secured in a containment facility in Bethesda before they were sent to the CDC’s high-containment facility in Atlanta. The vials are now being tested to determine if the virus is still “viable” — meaning if it has the ability to grow in tissue culture. The six glass vials of freeze-dried virus were intact and sealed with melted glass, and the virus may well have been dead, because it wasn't kept cold over the years, officials at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said. http://mashable.com/2014/07/08/smallpox-vials-found/?utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial
