Pfizzer are gaining exposure to antisense gen2 by taking out one of ISIS’s smaller partners... it opens pandoras box as to the driver behind ANPs share price lately.

Also shows that with GlaxoSmithKline in bed with ISIS... the others maybe of the view that if they can’t get then they will just take!!

Which makes ANP look even more like a sitting duck IMHO
