potentially eliminating the harmful immune responses that have been observed against native thrombopoietin following the administration of human thrombopoietin.

And then maybe not? I'd like them to expand on the epitopes on TP that elicit the "harmful" antibodies.

And, as always, there's the issue of immunogenicity for the new CDRs of the MAb itself.

I'm all for innovation in the field. I'm not certain that engineering is necessary, apart from the standard sort of stuff that CAT et al. could do. I presume, but do not know, that they're actually modeling the relevant structures in the "ligand of interest" and making CDR inserts that mimic them. If true, then this isn't exactly fast and easy.

A Medline for Dr. Bowdish doesn't say much apart from that she was accomplished, if a bit green, before joining industry.
