Does this IP have commercial value?

If you believe that IL-28 or 29 has a place in treatment of HCV then yes. If you believe that the future of HCV treatment is DAA only... then no.

Yes it has commercial value .Since Interferon HCV treatment is likely to be around for at least a few more years this is another bullet in the ability to predict who will respond.We may be as many as 5 years away from a combo pill triple therapy of Protease-Nuc - Non nuc combo.The test will be commercially available soon imho.
