Half, when Burger said he was going to meet with Abbott in January, he was going to demonstrate the test with the synthetic peptide. First of all, is there really going to be a meeting? The one last year certainly did not happen.
Secondly, does the synthetic peptide make the test perform better?
Well, Burger has stated that they have been working with it for a year but could not disclose it until a patent application was filed. Do you think Moro has run RECAF tests using the synthetic peptide? Most certainly.
Did it perform better? Well, look at the press release for the synthetic peptide. What did Moro say was most important about the new peptide?
He said that it would extend the patent protection another 20 years. If it has improved the test, Moro would have been screaming to the high heavens that the test was improved. IMO, that would certainly be the most important aspect of the synthetic peptide.
Sometimes you learn more from what is NOT said than what is actually stated.
