Change in web site. No big deal. Fact sheet change on both big and little X sites. Seems they are playing around with the format. Have wasted some time looking for significant differences but have found none. xoma.com

NEW NEW NEW NEW " An increasing number of antibiotic-resistant eye infections is causing concern in the ophthalmic community. In June 1999, XOMA began a partnership with Allergan to develop ophthalmic antiinfective products that combine rBPI with antibiotics. Both companies have confirmed earlier findings that rBPI synergizes with ofloxacin (an ocular antibiotic in widespread use) against various strains of gram-negative and gram-positive species of bacteria. The combination can, in many cases, reverse bacterial resistance to the antibiotic alone. Based on these findings Allergan is developing rBPI combination anti-infective products and is planning to enter clinical testing late in 2000 or early in 2001." Of course late 2000 or earl 2001 is a bit far off but the fact is we all knew it would take time and this is good news. The Mycoprex backgrounder also as a November 99 "date" notation indicating changes and additions to previous information. Suggest those with interest check out the site and post whatever changes they have noted that might be of interest to all. Do you think the XOMA webmaster worked late last night to make all these changes?
