That would make a lot of sense, stan since LGND is already working on CTCL, but this wasn't one which Henry mentioned. He wouldn't be trying to lead us astray, would he? (:>) Market for CTCL is fairly small, though. However, if they are developing with SRGN, it seems less likely.

Care to comment, Henry?? Let's check out the one Henry suggested.

Stan, I think that your guess on the DAB-fusion protein may be a good one. I looked up SRGN, and there is much overlap with LGND (targeting CTCL and psoriasis). DAB uses IL-2 (which LGND has licensed from CHIR in Canada) and EGF sends signals through STATs. I think that SRGN is just about out of money and could be bought for $10-$15 million. Do you know when approval for DAB is expected?
