This may become a long hold. Cistron needs a partner to commercialize this
molecule. Clinical trials will be long and expensive.

Dr. Pfau.......

CIST is a reagents company. Repeat that 10 times and see if you can analyze your investment on that basis.

Regarding your statement that Cistron has published a single manuscript......... Cistron is a small reagents company that had the smarts to get exclusive license to a big-time reagent. If you want references, try a medline for the individuals who led the research that was licensed by CIST, Philip Auron and "Mr. IL-1", Charles Dinarello.

You started early in this thread saying that there was no way that CIST would win an award from IMNX. You were wrong. When the award did come through, you jumped on board, and now you're complaining that a reagents company will need a partner to run clinical trials with IL-1, when (1) they have already licensed the molecule to two companies for pharma research programs, and (2) they have expressed no interest in the independent development of therapeutics.
