ntinued, "Both Valortim and Protexia continue to make excellent progress. We are presently focused on manufacturing scale-up for Valortim and recently commenced a 2000L engineering run. If successful, it will enable Valortim to be positioned for procurement by the U.S. government as early as 2010. Similarly, we've completed process development activities for Protexia and anticipate commencing our first trial in humans later this year to evaluate safety. With Joan's oversight we believe we can enhance the opportunities for success for each of these programs."
