Bostonian_04:
Feeling sad to read Pat's update. Have lots of hope and prayers for Bluebird and Gene Therapy for Thal. Andy, what are your thoughts?

jay:
where can we compare two vectors side by side?

Andy Battaglia:
Jay,

I do not believe that is possible. As far as I have been told, Bluebird will not release specific information about it's vector.

jay:
Secrecy is dangerous! we are called subjects no problem! we are called guinea pigs no problem!
Secrecy is dangerous! we can guess and smell that it may not be a human patch no problem we need to know.
Secrecy is dangerous! it may invite other problems no problem we need to know.
Secrecy is dangerous! it denies fair competition.

Andy Battaglia:
Believe me Jay, I tried to get that info but they won't reveal proprietary information. I prefer the transparency that Michel Sadelain has demonstrated over the years, but I also understand Bluebird's stance.
