Richard, I'm not sure that what happens to a protease inhibitor has direct implications for PN355 or not. If the virus is already developing an immunity to protease inhibitors, then drugs with new modes of action such as PN355 may be highly desired. Frankly, I find it hard to believe that the present status between AIDS and the new standard treatment regime is the "end" of the story. But it may take awhile for new resistant strains of AIDS to emerge. Still, PRLN could still have a major part to play if they became a "low cost" provider of an effective AIDS treatment. This would be premised on their ability to get to market an effective "natural" treatment (not a drug per se) without incurring the tremendous cash outlay that would be necessary to develop a drug. I'm still not willing to classify PRLN as just another "me too"--at least not yet.
