Agree wholeheartedly. Fantastic work/catch on your part as usual. This is the stuff that helps me ignore the nonsense on here. Something's afoot, I'm banking on it big. Thanks again for posting this, VERY valuable information.
Thanks CJ and Cliff Hoyt stands out immediately to me due to his ties to Gilead ....
Now Perkin Elmer is in Hopkinton, MA and I remember we picked up an ex-Gilead employee (actually I thought she was working with Gilead and Peregrine till she updated her linkedin profile..) so Gilead must be laying close attention to Cliff lately. There has been numerous employees between Peregrine and Gilead ....here are some puzzle pieces for anyone interested

Abstract: Therapies that block the PD-1/PD-L1 axis have shown significant clinical activity in melanoma and other cancers. Recent evidence has shown that pre-existing CD8 T cells infiltrates at the invasive tumor margin of metastatic melanoma are associated with the presence of the PD-1/PD-L1 immune axis and may predict response to therapy. We examined the relationship between site of metastatic disease, local immune response, and treatment outcome in patients with advanced melanoma.
