To all, some conference call notes:

- CEO Korpolinsky said that the recent market study showed that the HspE7 product "had the hallmarks of a Billion dollar product".

- he said there was "serious discussion with a number of potential corporate partners". They are studying "deal structures which give the best return to shareholders". He said the partnering would likely come "in the June time frame"

- the RRP (recurrent respiratory papillomatosis) indication for HspE7 would be first to market.

- Genital Warts represents the biggest market for HspE7

- The Anal Dysplasia indication is "the strategic pathway to the total dysplasia market", undoubtedly an illusion to off-label prescription for cervical dysplasia and other HPV-caused dysplasias. Patients with cervical cancer and anal cancer have dysplasias.

- Stressgen has about 19 months of cash even with no partner

- trials were showing 1. complete resolution of disease in a majority of patients 2. a durable response 3. excellent safety profile

- 3 Stressgen presentations in Baltimore May 7-9 will elucidate the mechanism of action of HspE7.

- HspE7 is also called SGN00101

- CD4+ cells (helper T cells) are not necessary for HspE7 to work. This suggests strongly that it will work in immunocomprimised people, the elderly, HIV-positive, diabetic, transplant patients. NCI (National Cancer Institute) is going to do a trial in HIV-positive patients. They manage the trials, Stressgen gives the therapeutics.

- standard dosing is 3 500 mcg shots monthly. They will study the effect of a booster in the 6-12 month time frame for those patients with no complete response by then.
