Re Dr. Gallo's chemokines:

Another far-off in the future treatment for AIDS. Pray that it works.

Has essentially no longterm investment impact on AGPH, IMO, as Viracept should by then have been supplanted as one of the leading treatments for the disease. AGPH by then should have a stable of drugs, much like Merck (well, maybe smaller).

May provide a short term buying opportunity, if it gets sufficient media attention this weekend.

Sam: For the sake of the HIV community lets hope this helps.
I have a feeling it will become another tool to fight this virus. Studies to see if it really works in humans is 2 years out and then maybe another few years before market approval.

The PI's will be used for a long long time.
