Of course, in addition to the typo correction, Biotime might also want to include in that 10-K405 Competition section that:

1) Dupont's Pentaspan&reg is used exclusively as an albumin replacement in Canada, and
2) Europe uses HES 200/0.5 (lower weight and degree of substitution)

In the present wording, Pentaspan&reg is described for it's US indications (leukapheresis) only. However, it has been used as an albumin replacement in Canada since 1993, and it's not accurate to describe it as a product "being developed" where clinical trials "are expected to begin in the near future".
