Sorry, no opinion on AVXT--I do see that
it tripled off the lows off last fall, congrats
are in order if you bought some at that time!
I guess autologous cancer vaccines are one of
the hot spots in biotech right now?
I went to ASCO.org just now to see if I could find
any abstracts from years past, did not get any hits
for Avax, sorry. I think I have seen the stock symbol
pop up from time to time, but I'm truly clueless on it.

As you know from my previous post, I own GZMO both for
the genomics/SAGE angle, but also for cancer therapy--
but I cant say that I understand the science much, well
let's be truthful, not at all--my career here on SI has
been poaching good ideas off others, what can I say,
I liked a GZMO presentation I saw recently, and it was
just circumstance that had me missing out on a presentation
by Avax (I think it was AVAX, I'll bet I mentioned that
fact in a post just a few weeks ago, but I forget now),
anyway, avax was in the next room over, so there you are.

fyi...
I think GZMO does something like this: "cancer immunotherapy
using dendritic cells transduced with adenovirus vectors
encoding tumor-associated antigens"

I know what each word means individually, but I've really
no idea the 'impact factor' of the whole sentence <g>.
Biotech is hot right now, fine by me--probably no really
big news comes out with these companies til the April and
May meetings anyway.

PS here is the old post
techstocks.com
heheh, I see I mention those ariaw's in there,
what a great gamble those turned out to be!
I have sold them all, and yes, I did sell waaay
too fast, oh well, can't complain.
