dew/ghmm re Promacta LGND/GSK

Per their company policy, I don't think we'll get any more detail from GSK until the scientific meeting presentation (would that be EASL or whatever that one is called?). But maybe someone will probe on the conference call.

Sales growth continues to be strong for ITP, looking like on pace for >$100m in that indication in 2011.

Dew if I recall you were a bit skeptical about promacta's role in HCV last time it came up. Any current thoughts? There was a lengthy presentation about this program/trials at the LGND analyst day in June.
