As I understand it, Moderna can order Affimers from Avacta for specific purposes (targets) and once produced, Avacta cannot produce the same Affimers for anyone else but Moderna. I think that Moderne can then be granted a license to produce the specific Affimers itself and paying Avacta huge amounts of money for the privilege. I believe that "several tens of millions of dollars" was mentioned. What amazes me, is that other companies with less potential than Avacta have SPs of around £1.00 even though they are still in the testing stages, so I really think that after all this time ( in since 2009 ) the only way is up now. I hope his helps DD7 although If you want to be certain, email Dr. Alastair Smith, He's very helpful.
