They warn that hypotheses often crumble in the laboratory for reasons that weren't even imagined beforehand -- and that tests in humans don't always turn out the way they did in animals.

From Preston Marx.....who is putting Tarvacin in the research arenas....Duke (Dook) is working on it....what more could we ask for, think of all the pre-clinical assays they may be conducting right now....BP will want those test results and those from the Godofsky clinic.

"There are no guarantees, but it's an interesting idea and it looks promising," says Preston A. Marx, a virologist at the Tulane University Primate Center in Covington, La.,
