Silver, I don't suppose you are still long CLTX. This thread has been dead for nearly a year. From today's action, it looks like CLTX is starting to make its big move. I had worried about the impact of the Jessie Gelsinger debacle upon a company like CLTX that uses the adenovirus for a gene vector. I spoke to a company rep. at an Informed Investors Forum a month or so ago and it turns out that there is little reason for concern. First, the company's therapy for growing new heart blood vessels is a one-shot administration, so there is no issue about developing an immune response that might flare up in a follow-on administrations of the therapy. Second, the heart muscle is much less susceptible to an immune response than other organs are. Third, the uptake of the vector into heart and vascular tissue is proving to be very rapid and thorough, so there is no real issue about the adenoviruses spreading to other areas in the body.

Bless my luck, I went long first thing this morning, before the big rise.
