I'm out for now!!!What's the deal between VRA and VGNI???
Resistance today in the mid 0.50's is a bit unexpected! My "boo hooing" is somewhat tempered at present. We shall see.
I be "dazed and confused". Fri. a great PR and PPS rally providing a glimmer of hope. Then, come Mon. the company rushes out a new PR pre market cutting off the rally at the knees. My neck hurts from shaking my head.
Holding during premarket with around 700,000 trading.

OT: I hear you on the WGFL. I'm PATIENTLY in @ 0.0024 and waiting to "tune in" come January. We shall speculate and wait.
Well said.
2005 activity and the prior R/S (6-15-04) made Friday's news and pps gain all the more welcome. Here's hoping the test results and product prove successful and that VRA helps many...both the ailing and the shareholders. Hope you get your .90 backaway and use it to go "golfing" around the "World" in that "League" :o). Well, maybe not? LOL.

Fridays news was a pleasant surprize to say the least considering the past years dive. Sadly, I've got to hit 0.90 to break even. At least, it's FINALLY a glimmer of hope. GLTA
Was trading actually halted by VRA or ?
Looks like it was for around 1.5 hours from 1:25 to just short of 3:00? With the volume size reflected looks like the buys were building up for 1.5 hours and then Kaboom!! Looks like the poor folks entering market orders at 1:26ish based on the prior .38 got screwed. Sat on all those open market bids until the price jacked up then-then-then Gotcha!

The solution to costly drugs: Chickens
Viragen's biochickens lay eggs laced with anti-cancer drugs cheaper than using bioreactors.
October 26, 2005: 5:27 PM EDT
By Aaron Smith, CNN/Money staff writer
NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - Manufacturing drugs in factories is expensive. So why not have chickens do it instead?
Viragen (up $0.01 to $0.45, Research), a Florida-based biotech, is developing a method to produce drugs inside chickens, rather than expensive bioreactors. At Viragen, the chickens have become the bioreactors, and the factories have turned into "Hilton" quality chicken farms, said Dr. Helen Sang, project leader.
"Our aim is to make drugs in hens' eggs, but the drugs will all be protein drugs," said Sang, a senior scientist with the Roslin Institute, the Scottish research center that brought us Dolly the cloned sheep. "What we are looking for is a new way to produce the protein that would be cheaper and, more importantly, produce high-quality products."
Vaccine makers have been culturing drugs inside eggs for at least 30 years. But unlike the vaccine makers, Viragen's scientists don't wait for the hen to lay the egg. Using a process called avian transgenics, Viragen's scientists bioengineer the chickens with an artificial gene, which directs the hens to lay eggs with protein-based drugs inside the protein-rich whites, said CEO Charles Rice. Then, the scientists extract the protein antibodies from the eggs. There are various ways to extract the proteins, including centrifuge, or spinning the eggs until the protein is forced to the surface of the white. Meanwhile, the chickens pass on the drug gene to their offspring.
Viragen's flock of hens has already laid eggs laced with a protein antibody that fights skin cancer. Rice said this method, conducted with the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center of New York, is still in preclinical trials.
Next, Viragen hopes to produce eggs containing insulin, the protein that occurs naturally in healthy people but must be artificially injected by diabetics to help control blood-sugar levels. Rice wouldn't project sales, but the potential is huge, considering the American Diabetes Association's estimate of 18.2 million Americans with diabetes, with another 1.3 million diagnosed annually.
Viragen would contract its biochickens to drug makers who need help producing protein-based drugs. Rice said that Viragen might be able to help Genentech (up $1.15 to $89.52, Research), a California biotech, produce Herceptin, a gene-targeted treatment for breast cancer, and Rituxan, a treatment for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
"If Genentech runs short of production facilities for Herceptin, we can breed a few hundred more chickens at our chicken farm," said Rice.
Viragen's chickens each lay about 250 eggs per year. The company is experimenting with producing multiple doses inside a single egg, said Sang, but she added, "We don't want to be greedy."
Rice said Viragen would receive 20 to 50 percent of a drug's sales when it contracts production for another company, focusing on blockbusters, or drugs with blockbuster potential. This explains Rice's interest in Genentech: Herceptin sales totaled nearly $500 million for Genentech in the first nine months of 2005, about a 40 percent jump from the same period last year, while Rituxan sales totaled $1.3 billion in the first nine months.
"There's no product that I could envision working on with less than $1 billion market value," said Rice.
Eric Schmidt, analyst for SG Cowen, said that Genentech's capacity is maxed out, so they might be amenable to new methods of drug production.
"The potential opportunity for Viragen is that Genentech is running at 100 percent [capacity]," said Schmidt. "Their capacity is bursting at the seams. They might be receptive to new technology that would increase their input and decrease their cost."
However, large drug companies like Genentech are sometimes reluctant to switch their manufacturing methods because it could create complications with regulatory agencies, said Jason Kantor, analyst for RBC Capital Markets.
"There are a lot of alternative manufacturing technologies that are in development, including yeast, plant cells, whole plants, transgenic animals and, in this case, chicken eggs," said Kantor. "The big limitation here is that big companies are reluctant, from a quality control and regulatory standpoint, to change their manufacturing process. There is significant regulatory risk in trying to change manufacturing technology."
In addition to its work with avian transgenics, Viragen produces Multiferon, a treatment for viruses and cancers that is marketed in 10 countries outside the U.S. The company reported $278 million in sales during the 12 months ended June 30, 2005, with a net loss of $26 million.

from co
"We believe Viragen's Multiferon (natural human alpha
interferon), represents a prime candidate worthy of evaluation for
virtually any emerging viral threat, and we have previously filed
patents associated with Multiferon for the possible treatment of avian
flu. We have also previously disclosed that certain government studies
are ongoing that are evaluating Multiferon for a range of viral threats,
but we are prevented from sharing any information regarding these
studies at this time."
Been a LONG dry spell for VRA but the Multiferon phase III passed so this week we'll see some movement. GLTA
Alert went off for VRA.
I'm watching.
current price is .96- 1.04 range
Keep it on your radar.
Has anyone checked out the 50day, 200 day moving averages.
Also have you noticed the hugh volume?
Accumulation.....
I'm watching this one.
Checkout the charts, I see something is cooking.

The new brought up to close at .29 today, looks maybe a breakout again, pretty good vol. lets keep it up.

Treatment of SARS with human interferons
J Cinatl, B Morgenstern, G Bauer, P Chandra, H Rabenau, H W Doerr
Effective antiviral agents are needed to treat severe acute respiratory syndrome-associated coronavirus (SARS-CoV) infection. We assessed the antiviral potential of recombinant interferons against two clinical isolates of SARS-CoV--FFM-1, from Frankfurt patients, and Hong Kong--replicated in Vero and Caco2 cells. Interferon ß was five to ten times more effective in Caco2 cells. Interferon effectively inhibited SARS-CoV replication, but with a selectivity index 50-90 times lower than that for interferon ß. Interferon was slightly better than interferon in Vero cell cultures, but was completely ineffective in Caco2 cell cultures. Interferon ß could be useful alone or in combination with other antiviral drugs for the treatment of SARS.
Lancet 2003; 362: 293-94
this stock is a very roller coaster stock, ups and downs but overall very healthy company with some good promise of upward trend again.
in today @ .25. let's get this board going.
came from raggin bull, anyone here have this seems to be a very good stock if they can move.
