A few corrections in my last paragraph.

<<In addition to all the other proteins that get expressed at the same time and the concern about prions.>>

Ah, the prion card emerges. GTCB has already shown they can prions and separate them away from the rATIII during their purification process, so you have struck out here. Do you know where and how prions emerge? Did you know GTCB's herd are certified prion free, and from prion free stock? Did you know that yeast have prions too? Go back and read carefully my previous post and then read some basic biology about protein folding and secretion and then come back. You are really annoying me with your wild and unsubstantiated jumps based on little or no information. Good night.

It's ironic given the initial hype was concerning the dangers of drugs from trangenic animals were initially branded frankenanimals and frankendrugs.

Frankenfungi doesn't have the same sort of ring to it.

Hey, I think it was all a few fringe groups trying to stir up controversy.

I think GTC will do OK, but in this sort of market, I hope they partner up with someone that can affort the research, getting money out of the market with stock offerings now days is going to be tough.

Good luck with GTC and I will be watching to see who they may get as a partner. Can't be that hard, even INGN was able to get $20 million out of Colgate. Which surprised me but the market didn't seem to care that much.

Thanks to all for putting up with some of my naive questions.
