AVAN 1.60 +.14 - been sitting on this one for so long, I even took it off my daily watch list. IMO much better run and scientific company than GNBT which continues to look very strong.

Avant Immunotherapeutics Shares Climb As Vaccine Maker Devotes Resources to Bird Flu

NEEDHAM, Mass. (AP) -- Avant Immunotherapeutics Inc. shares climbed Monday after the vaccine maker said it was devoting resources for the development of a mass-scale bird flu vaccine.
Shares of Avant rose 16 cents, or 10.7 percent, to $1.62 in morning trading on the Nasdaq. Shares have traded between $1.09 and $2.47 in the past 52 weeks.

The company said it formed a research team to focus on the development of a bird flu vaccine that can be kept at room temperature using its virus vector and preservation technologies.

Avant said the effort and others will be funded by the $50 million generated by the May sale of rotavirus vaccine Rotarix rights to Paul Royalty Fund II.
