Xoma will be taking such a fusion protein into clinic by early nest year. Gelonin uses a toxin related to but not ricin. Very early stage and have no idea if it will work.

BTW CEO says it is talking to 14 companies that will need to license its' cell expression technology. They are expected to do so soon. CEO stated yesterday that all phage companies are in violation of Xoma patents if they continue without getting a license.

Why do you say that? A number of toxin conjugates have failed in the clinic (including two ricin conjugates from IMGN), while anti-CD20, anti-Her2/neu, anti-RSV, etc. have proven to be quite effective.
