<<Biotechnology Value Fund L.P. has
a 5.5% investment stake in Aquila Biopharmaceuticals Inc. (AQLA)>>

I wonder if our house immunologist would care to comment on AQLA? <G>

There's a write-up of their technology in a recent S-3 they filed, for those that want to check it out.

V1:

I've followed the development of AQLA's saponin derivative adjuvant since it was in early development. Rick Coughlin, who did much of the early work, was hired from Centocor as Section Manager, Immunology at what was then Cambridge Biotech. Don't know if he's still there, but, if so, he'd make a good contact.

Always thought that the adjuvant was better than those in development at CYTR or RIBI, but, after the bankruptcy, I never thought that they'd bounce back so successfully. The 10-K must be a nightmare to get through.

Thanks!

Rick
