RE:What is TCID50?And there it is folks, Darren and Kulbir and all the others have been full of BS the whole time. From them having a hard time describing their results, to failing at the national laboratories due to the national labs "making a mistake", to using Saudis to do their validation, poor news releases, news releases to stop the bleeds. These guys were dishonest from day 1.
Lets hope the lawyers swoop in and take back what they can for investors (including the Canadian tax payers). But perhaps they will make a movie like they did with Bre-X.

A few publications state that the average TCID from nasal lavage was in the range of 1-5 TCID50 per ml, and others state it is higher or lower depending on the method of collection.
I found this publication that talks about the existing PCR based diagnostic picking up signals at pretty low concentations, but that is PCR which is very sensitive.

Anyone other there abile to shed some light on whether they tested cell culture virus samples or real clinical samples. I'm not sure that the news release was very informative in that sense. Sounds like they were perhaps being vague. Anyhow, good luck and lets see where this goes next week.
