Re: Laureate Pharma

>I gather from your comments that all Laureate does for GTCB is gather up the milk and extract AT3 from it.<

Laureate is not currently involved in any facet of ATryn production.

GTC itself converts the goat milk into bulk AT protein. Lonza then converts the bulk protein into a pharmaceutical-grade product at a facility in Hopkinton, MA that was acquired from Cambrex.

>Laureate’s web site says GTCB and Laureate offer process and design to other companies,,,, you think they might be biotechs ???<

I assume you mean GTC’s website, not Laureate’s website. As has been mentioned on this board, GTC’s collaboration with Laureate dates to early 2004 and nothing has ever become of it. It’s a non-issue as far as I’m concerned. Regards, Dew
