By the way, I also asked Dr. Blank what direction their research going in trying to elucidate the mechanism by which the Prosorba column helps patients with RA. Surprisingly, they have done nothing with the columns themselves. What I mean is that after the patient's serum is passed over the column and returned to the patient, whatever was separated from the serum is bound on the column. I asked whether they have tried to figure out whether there is anything unique to RA patients bound to the column versus control non-RA patients. They are not even looking at that! They are trying to work with the actual blood of RA patients first. She said they have kept all the column in -80 degrees for future study. Personally, I think this is a mistake. They should try, at the very least, to see if there is a particular pattern of antibodies that is secluded on the column from RA patients' blood. Since they have no leads at this time, another approach may help, no?

Well, that's it.

CYPB is holding very strong at 3 1/8. Low volume still. Need more exposure.

Regards.
