hmmmmm....... I forgot about that. There's tons of this sort of stuff around......

BVDV is an enveloped, positive sense, single strand RNA virus, as is the (first blush) causative agent of SARS. If you'd have thought about this earlier in the day and hit IRC with the info, you probably could have driven OGSI to about $500.

;-)

Thanks!

I still believe this. I think it's CRAZY that more pharmas aren't in the mix with Celltech, Merlin Bioscience, etc. They just never learn. They want to look good for their shareholders and save money when everything is cheap. The reason that Novartis is becoming dominant? During the days of Sandoz and Ciba, the focus was on a bright future rather than next quarter's bottom line.

re. the current fear of a flu pandemic, we've discussed at least two agents -- context bioterror -- here at S.I. which would seem to be of interest re. stockpiling.......... NB-DNJ and MPI-49839.

these agents would roll out as emergency prophylaxis, and perhaps as part of a multi-drug approach to blunting disease. a scary tox profile should not be reason to dismiss the concept?
