Molecular Archaeology

The things Google News turns up! My sorting word was archaeology, but here comes an article on medicine - and if the cure for my allergies comes from chicken immune systems, fine with me!

Of course there's this little paragraph:

"If we can secure funding for a further three years to work on IgY and pinpoint the target, the results could then be applied to IgE. A successful drug molecule would need at least a further five years development by a pharmaceutical company."
Several years of reading Derek Lowe on pharmaceuticals has taught me to rein in my enthusiasm. Sigh. Decades more sneezing for me.
