ISIS Pharmaceuticals
Michael Murphy (10/26)

There's a big opportunity in ISIS Pharmaceuticals (ISIP:Nasdaq), says Michael Murphy of California Technology Stock Letter. The company recently received the green light from the Food and Drug Administration to market Vitravene, its new antisense drug. The FDA approval would mark Vitravene as the first such product to hit the marketplace.

Vitravene attacks CMV retinitis, a malady that affects many AIDS patients with depressed immune deficiency systems.

Murphy adds that the approval came three weeks earlier than expected and that the drug will hit the market "shortly."
