GTC Biotherapeutics (fka GTCB)

[Pre_Clinical]

So lets recap. You are warning about problems with purifying proteins from milk. I then brought up that there are also problems from CHO cells. I bought up CHO cells because that is a production system of wide usage right now. You responded by trying to raise fears (unrealistic in my book) about herd contaminations. I responded that the goats are in a very controlled environment and that you have greater risks from public contact from humans in closed spaces. Where are you going to get your proteins from?

I am trying to figure out what your problem is, assuming you are not simply a fear mongering short. I also stated that compared to purifying proteins (including rATIII) from pooled human blood, GTCB's approach is far superior and safer. Do you disagree and think that it is safer to purify from blood? Here are the choices, ATIII from pooled human blood or purified from goats milk.

What's there to recap? You originally made a completely unsubstantiated claim that the production of recombinant proteins in CHO cells carries the same risk profile as transgenic milk protein production. That is a distortion of reality and correpsonds to the contribution of a disservice to this board. Therefore I told you that you were full of crap. There's your recap, bud.
