If this is important news why did XOMA say nothing about it long time ago? Doubt they will have a press release even now. The article was submitted in March, accepted in Sept. and published in December. Is it really news? Did the market discount it? For us it is news and we did not know about it but did the larger players know?

Here is the link to the article should anyone want to see the abstract.

Blugreen I think it was an important find. But until the N.Y.Times runs an article explaining to its' readers why this BPI deficiency in newborns is important I am not sure the market will care. Sort of like the anti-agiogenisis story which was old news but became NEW after their article.

Have now concluded your post is not important. First of all did you know it was not just that radical institution of Harvard but also a Woman's hospital? And if that does not bother you throw in a left coast U. of California. While that is bad enough at least three of the researchers were women. One Kelly Lee is of a non determinable sex, or at least most of us don't know what this researchers sex is.

Women are too close to the subject of the just born to be trusted with this type of research. So given the involvement of women and the lack of respectable institutions involved in this research it is logical and correct that many on Yahoo dismiss it out of hand.

Wonder if you or anyone notified XOMA of this research???

Duh! While your post does not show it XOMA was fully involved in this research. So now we have another reason to dismiss it. Left wing institutions, Women's Hospitals, women involved in the research and now the ultimate straw, XOMA involvement. Stock probably down to $1 tomorrow now that your post has been revealed to show nothing of importance could have been discovered by such a motley crew.
