Hi Rick. A lot of learned people have doubts about the practicality of inducing localized thrombosis in humans. Don't they have the same doubts about Folkmanlike projects? From acorns grow...

Thanks for the history on Phil Thorpe and deglycosolated ricin a chain. As I remember he was trying to poison the vessel but the potential for liver toxicity was too great. About a year ago he was causing the thrombosis with IgM abs but of course they were too large and the 1% production yield was causing problems. Now he's using IgG abs (96% yield) and results are promising. He expects to determine the ab for the clinic this year. Still it's a big and expensive project so we shareholders expect TCLN to license it off to Big Pharma. TNT is still our holy grail. Thanks for listening.

Regards, -Davis
