<<Am I right in thinking that the early stage pipeline is pretty thin compared with (eg) DNA ?>>

Yes, I think that they are bit short with biologic and biologic targets, regardless that from IMNX they expanded into cancer-immunology. Now, they are expanding into small molecules arena, but this is early and will take time to generate something of the substance. ABGX targets pipeline (from CRGN and LEXG collaborations) will and is in synergy with their business model. Nonetheless, I will prefer that ABGX stay independent and growth organically.

<<I still cannot see why they were in such a hurry to take over HuMax-IL15 from Genmab.>>

Genmab is EU company and by early contract IL-15 control was shared between companies. Difficult for AMGN, as they prefer to have solely control, like pharma. Control not only over clinical development, but as well over generated knowledge over target-candidate relations.
