Agouron and Viracept are impressive. I hope you bought it when the share price was around $10 in 1994 and held till last year. A handsome profit.

I'll probably hold my Procept shares hoping for a miracle. Procept is the only biotechnology stock I currently own. I recently sold my holding in xoma. The rest of my money is in Lockheed Martin and mutual funds (primarily international).

I like the concept of a vaginal topical microbicide, but I agree with you that Procept needs to learn something about investor relations. I mailed them a letter and never received a response. I did get someone to answer the telephone, but really didn't say much.

I was reviewing the abstracts from the 4th Conference on Retroviruses & Opportunistic Infections(January 22-26, 1997). My objective was to determine what companies/governments made presentations about possible gel candidates. It seems there were two: 1) Centre de Recherche en Infectiologie of Quebec and 2)Gilead Sciences, Inc.
Gilead's homepage is: gilead.com

A listing of Gilead's products in development shows the drug candidate is Forvade(Cidofovir Gel). They seem to be in Phase I/II.
