Given the way BIIB answer q about Tysabri production, very little chance Tysabri will be produced with goats if they remain ELN's partner.

ELAN

"It is known that GTCB developed founder goats for Tysabri. It is also known that GTCB is working with ELN on a second antibody, presumably AAB-001."

Thanks,DEW, I don't recall seeing that officially stated, just conjecture. In that case, do you assume from the PR that both projects with Elan have been "completed" and is that a euphemism for "dead"?

I don't know how GTCB maintains founder goats, but keeping frozen sperm and embryos may be the way to go rather than keeping a herd on hand for a project that is unlikely to be needed.
