Tom, what do you see as the Major Advance?
Do you think that the technical ability to identify these prions with
this methodology will result in an actual reduction in exposure to

I'm asking a technology-assessment-and-equity question and am truly
interested in your thoughts. I'll listen, then say more.
Just curious.
