>> Rick's theory is the the two mAbs are binding slightly different epitopes and that this might be the reason for what appears to be a difference in efficacy. <<

I know that there's not a hint of intent behind it, but that's not correct. The antibodies bind to very different epitopes, one expressed on two relevant (?) intregin molecules and the other (MLN02) on one of the two.

I am using "integrin molecule" in the sense of combined alpha and beta chains.

More later..... I've been promising the kids a game of handball for about an hour, and my daughter is standing here scowling at me, noting that I just switched to a new subject.

But, before I split...... I expected MLN02 to be effective, and I looked at the preclinical data closely when I did a slightly informal (covered by retainer, but not of sufficient depth to go beyond that) DD job on LeukoSite, before they went public. And I fully share Erik's opinion about MLNM's course of action, going forward.
