CHEMOKINES HAVE BEEN AROUND FOR OVER A DECADE Re: Dr. Gallo's Chemokines: Joe, I was told that AIDS researchers have been studying chemokines for over a decade? I am sure that Dr. Gallo's discovery of this new molecule is new, however, by his own admission, it will take several years before this strategy is even tested in Humans? So IF this new approach is proven effective in monkeys (2-3 yrs) and the in Humans (another 2-3 yrs) and then if approved (1-2 yrs) it may have an impact on current treatments. Also, since this treatment works in a completely different approach, it probably will be used in combination with combination therapy 6-8 yrs from now. This discovery poses not even a possibility of competition to Viracept for at 6-8 yrs. I doubt any misconception could be sincere enough to cause a "buying opportunity". If the mkt continues to freefall, this may create a huge opportunity again for informed investors and a escape for the shorts (our built in dedicated-buying support). My question is , how long have chemokines been around? I say over a decade.
