Cheryl:

I haven't owned RGEN for ages, and therefore have not followed their SEC disclosures. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Thompson and Bluestone have published together for several years. These guys aren't among the world's dumbies, and I will be paying attention to this new attack.

I guess that the next step would be to search the various patent sites for European disclosures from Tolerance Therapeutics, to see if a priority date is to be found.

Wouldn't be surprised if Europe rights are gone forever, but that's just a guess.

Be careful.... RGEN has failed to mention that Bluestone's manuscript was published back to back in that issue of Science with one from BMY (Linsley et al.), that CTLA-4 was described five years before the Bluestone manuscript, and that the first CTLA-4-related publication (not dealing with in vivo immunosuppression) from the BMY group preceded the Science manuscripts by about a year.

Nonetheless..... I'll bet that they have an interesting argument, at least for the U.S.
