MH, I’ve been thinking about the manufacturing side of this whole equation. If we assume for a moment that PPHM and GILD will indeed do the kind of deal we’ve been discussing the past few days - then I’d like to ask for your opinion regarding the following:

Would GILD’s acquisition of 100% of the worldwide rights to the Bavi franchise likely include AVID OR would it be possible - even likely - that PPHM would retain AVID and continue to run it, grow it substantially as they appear to be planning, and of course act as GILD’s initial and primary source of product once Bavi is formally approved?

Should your answer be in the affirmative then I’ll likely have some follow-up questions.

Thank you once again for your very thoughtful contributions to the discussion.

James
