Bit pointless if they are using chi-nah crap though

Usual drop on no news I'd imagine...

Again, here is the answer to your concerns:

Q22: AVA6000 - Are there significant amounts of FAP associated with Circulating Tumour Cells capable of causing the release of the chemotherapy away from the tumour?

Circulating tumour cells are very rare; there is approximately one circulating tumour cell for every million blood cells. The number of FAP positive circulating tumour cells is in the region of 26–49 per ml of blood. It is therefore unlikely that FAP associated with circulating tumour cells contribute significantly to cleavage of AVA6000 in the blood.

Relative to expression in most normal tissues, FAP is overexpressed on the cell membrane of stromal fibroblasts in many epithelial tumours and in soft tissue sarcomas. Thus, the preCISION platform provides a means to target the activation of a chemotherapy, such as doxorubicin in the case of AVA6000, to the tumour bed while reducing exposure of normal tissues.

My neighbour is off on a cruise tomorrow, he has to have had a double jab. But also will get tested before. Boarding.
Just an example of a professionally administered test. Is it us? Perhaps not, but one example of a small part of the travel industry applying testing policies even for the vaccinated.

Weekend, it'll catch up tomorrow

Wow that one looks good, pity avacta don't have a test

Superb research done and new information uncovered. Thanks to all for your great sluething.

I'll beat turtle to it though, what are the chances no news and 5% daily drops (the reverse physcology trick)

All just rumours still though, we might get a home use RNS tomorrow, who knows!

I think we are more likely to be getting Europe contract need though.

Not the best test out there, better than Chinese crap though.

Next week is going to be MASSIVE!
Or is it the week after!
Either way it'll be a MASSIVE week shortly....

Declaration of interest:
Prof Jon Deeks: “JD is an external advisor to the MHRA and the WHO, and leads the Cochrane reviews of the accuracy of tests for SARS-CoV-2 supported by funding from the Foundation for new Innovative Diagnostics.”

So why the feck is he not banging the drum for avacta (or and Mologic)?

Shouldn't it say "under license from Avacta" somewhere?

The "chuck any old **** out" boat has been missed. Which as it happens made the Chinese billions.

The "develop one of the best lft's in the world" boat hasn't been missed. This was always avacta's aim. This top notch test can be used and trusted by industry and governments. Whereas the first phase tests are not trusted and have indeed been discredited by most governments (not UK).

Producing this quality test also elevates Avacta's reputation and has (if we believe Sir Al) shone the spotlight on avacta globally.

All we need now is some contracts :)

The ODX twitter operative is on the ramp again too, with the daily testing news out for school children and wider.

is it them?

is it us?

Theres only one hero here zoom, and he is very rich and very very well respected

What happened to the dog of death in the chart? Have we cheated him?

Exactly zoom!

did someone think there was a 2pm RNS ready?
