I received the VaxGen prospectus. I found particularly interesting a couple of points. In Phase II all humans vaccinated developed neutralizing antibodies. The level of neutralizing antibodies developed in humans exceeded that level developed in chimps. No chimp that received the vaccine became infected when injected with the virus; all chimps that did not received the vaccine and were injected with the virus became infected. There will be an interim review of Phase III results. If the efficacy of the vaccine is shown at that time approval can be received for the marketing, i.e. don't necessarily have to wait 3 years. gary
