Henry
I have been doing a little strolling through the literature regarding retinoids and cancer. It seems that there is both in vitro and vivo data that suggests that interferon may synergize with retinoids in cancer treatment. Any word about upcoming studies with targretin in this regard? Specifically there was info in vitro on breast, and in vivo with pancreas. They were using older retinoids, so I wonder what that means for Ligand. Just some thoughts. Dan

Hank, I notice that you failed to mention Panretin in your update. Nothing reported on Panretin from the H&Q conference either. Are they still trying to sell initial inventories? Has Lgnd written Panretin off as a flop?
