It's fascinating to me that pigs make better Factor VIII, IX, and fibrinogen than goats do, and that a company went way far into development to the point of considering big-time commercialization only to hit a little snag in terms of getting to market - A BIG FAT PATENT ISSUE that forced this company to knuckle under and GIVE UP the rights to commercialize these pig produced products to the WESTERN WORLD AND JAPAN. This $3B deal should WAKE UP the market to realize that transgenic milk production GOES THRU GTCB. This, to me, is the quintiscential event event that PUTS GTCB on the map for complex protein production and low cost production of proteins, regardless of the mammal making the milk. BUY!!! and don't look back. Jeez, you guys don't see the importance of this. THIS IS BIG TIME NEWS, to me, at least. Am I weird for thinking this is a big deal. No one is buzzing about it on this board. Who cares about orphan status for Atryn when this is on the table. I don't. The plasma products and recombinant products available CAN'T COMPETE with this platform. This is just the tip of the iceberg, guys.
