Medicago Inc MDCGF

[Indicator]

I have been looking at Medicago's competition and would like to more fully understand the advantages Medicago may or may not have over another up and coming VLP vaccine competitor - IBIO - I am aware that Medicago holds several patents that they feel are quite important, but this does not seem to be stopping competition from entering the fray, so they must be doing some things differently.

For this laypersons eye, it seems their process is quite similar to Medicago.

Good question IndicatorI sent the question to Medicago IR and asked them, when I have an answer I'll let you know.

Man the Judge better be a bio scientist or I would award Medicago a billion dollars....  If someone  read you the web page you'd swear they were talkin about Medicago...hhmmm I would have phillip morris laywers look at this. could you imagine the "expressions" left in the pants of that board if they received a cease and desist order from PMI think the best way to

I am no expert, but the apparent difference seems to be that this company is specializing in proteins, where MDG is working with Virus Like Particle's

Yes, basically they *infiltrate* a plant with a form of agrobacteria, which has a viral sequences that they want to have replicated to basically accelerate the production of a specific protein. I think Russian scientists invested this method. So they get around the vaccine manufacturing process differently, but ultimately they are producing vaccines with or without sterile virus (it doesn't

rocket65, why do you say "we are years from that though"? Are you saying we are going to have a multi-million dollar plant in North Carolina sitting "idle" for years before they use it? I don't think so

They get the proteins from the tobacco plants.

Well another difference between MDB and IBIO is IBIO is trading around 4$ and we're still trading at 50 cents. ???? LOL

Don't forget to mention ........less than 32 million shares outstanding

Sorry, for the H1N1 vaccine, Medicago is just in the clinical trial approval stage. As in just past animal testing. So they have a couple of years of work in clinical trials.But yes, the NC plant will be up and running and can produce H5N class vaccines.

Wiz wiz... You have to have protein to breed virus. That's why egg's were and are used. Protein city. There are tons of ways of *building* or designing proteins for suitability in all sorts of biotech and health science undertaking. And especially if you want to hit up virual DNA which has to bind to proteins, so if your messing with virus's you are messing with proteins and assorted
