Richard, That was a quintuple negative - Guiness material.
Count them! "It isn't[1] that I don't[2] think CD20 MAbs won't[3] be ineffective[4], its just that I'm unsure[5] that they will.

So it seems from the trials you mention that Rituxan is indeed expected to give good results in NHLs of the intermediate and high grade type if strongly CD20.

Which is what I thought originally. The only objection I've heard is that tuberculosis [and presumbably other infections are a risk]. It seems to me that P53 testing should be done and if the alleles, 7 through 9 [I think they were] are mutant, then Rituxan should be essential treatment because those patients have rotten prospects according to the Blood Nov 97. report.

Going to try for a sextuplet negative?

Regards,
Maurice
