Rick,

I spoke with Hal Smith, CIST's PR person, this morning. He stated that Cistron is now actively involved in cancer vaccine research, and that this work involves "an outside party." This is good news and is a natural follow-on to the reacquisition of the GTI (Sandoz/Novartis) sub-license for this research. Hopefully, news of a collaboration will be forthcoming.

Interestingly, today's (4/27) BioCentury has a lead article on cancer vaccine research. A number of companies/approaches are discussed. Clearly some of these approaches - as you've outlined previously - are relevant to CIST. This is a great 'primer.' I recommend that anyone interested go to the BioCentury website biocentury.com and request a copy.

Hal also mentioned that CIST's flu vaccine work with Novavax and their wound healing work are proceeding. Also, Galton and BlueStone are working closely and are in active discussions with a number of companies.
