I noticed that last month Genzyme released this rather good news about a Phase 1/2 clinical trial where the subjects' vision was successfully improved with the aid of AAV vectors/gene therapy:
http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/7582...
Remember that in 2009 Ampliphi (then Targeted Genetics) sold a load of AAV patents and technology to Genzyme:
http://www.in-pharmatechnologist.com/Pro...
And that Ampliphi will benefit as follows:
http://www.ampliphibio.com/index.php/par...
"Under the collaboration, AmpliPhi Biosciences will receive revenue from Genzyme in the event that Genzyme sublicenses the acquired intellectual property within specified time periods, and will receive royalties in the event of commercial sales of products containing AAV vectors covered by the acquired intellectual property."
Question is, are these AAV vectors Ampliphi's?
The possibilities here are yet another reason why imho Ampliphi's valuation is ludicrously low at present given it already effectively has two products ready to start Phase 3 trials and has lots of cash available, equivalent to much of its market cap.
Last December I was hunting for information on Targeted Genetics’ Choroideraemia Clinical Trials - NCT00643747.
Here's the link to my post and the replies:

There was some success with this process (view the video for a look at ). At this point Ampliphi hasn't come forth with and clarity around ownership or trials status and it's really about time stockholders are updated.
See any info in your research, please post. Thanks in advance.

Using viruses to beat superbugs
Viruses that can target and destroy bacteria have the potential to be an effective strategy for tackling hard-to-treat bacterial infections. The development of such novel therapies is being accelerated in response to growing antibiotic resistance, says Dr David Harper at the Society for General Microbiology's Spring Conference in Dublin.
Bacteriophages are viruses that can infect bacteria and multiply within them, breaking down the cell and destroying the bacteria - amplifying themselves in the process to deal with more bacteria. They are found everywhere including in river water, soil, sewage and on the human body. Soon after their initial discovery in 1915, bacteriophages were investigated as antibacterial therapeutic agents. A limited understanding of their mode of action meant early work was often unsuccessful and with the advent of the chemical antibiotic era, bacteriophages were passed over as therapeutics.
Dr Harper, Chief Scientific Officer at AmpliPhi Bioscience in Bedfordshire explains why bacteriophages are being revisited as antibacterial agents. "Each bacteriophage is highly specific to a certain type of bacteria and needs the right bacterial host cell in order to multiply. The more bacterial targets there are, the quicker they grow by killing the host cells. Therefore it seems very likely that infections harbouring high numbers of bacteria will benefit most from bacteriophage therapy – for example chronically infected ears, lungs and wounds," he said. "For these types of infection, only a tiny dose of the virus is needed - as small as one thousandth of a millionth of a gram. This can usually be administered directly to the site of infection in a spray, drops or a cream. The major advantage to bacteriophages is that they don't infect human cells so seem likely to be very safe to use."
Increasing resistance to antibiotics has meant that bacterial infections are becoming more and more difficult to treat. With fewer antibiotics available to treat drug-resistant infections, research into bacteriophage therapy has been accelerated. "The rate of new antibiotics coming onto the market does not match the rate of increasing drug-resistance. The need for new approaches to counter such high resistance is both urgent and vital. New approaches will save lives," stressed Dr Harper.
Clinical trials for bacteriophage therapy are now underway. The first clinical trial for safety was reported in 2005 and the results demonstrating the effectiveness of bacteriophage therapy were published in 2009. This clinical trial was conducted by AmpliPhi. The company is planning further clinical trials in conditions where existing antibacterial therapies are not able to help. "With the results of further clinical trials, once regulatory issues are overcome and future investment secured in this area of research, this should lead to the development of novel products suitable for widespread use to tackle bacterial diseases and overcome antibiotic resistance", said Dr Harper."

Approx. 100,000,000 mil shares, approx. $15 mil market cap., at $0.15.
approx. $15 mil. Market Cap as of today.Based on the press release we just got the updated outstanding share count and Market Cap. Approx. 100,000,000 mil shares,.
I think a fair market cap range today should be at a minimum of $30 mil to $60 mil, or in the $0.30 to $0.60 share price range. Once the Glybera milestone payment is announced (already happened), and royalties revenues start ccming in Q.3 , and a CF Trial partner funded trial announcement the stock could trade in the $1 to $1.50 range.
I'm very encourage by Intrexon novel approach match with APHB phage development.
----------------------------------------
AmpliPhi will issue to Intrexon 24,000,000 shares of its common stock (representing approximately 26% of Ampliphi’s outstanding shares after the issuance). The ECC also includes the potential for development milestones that are payable in equity or cash. In addition, AmpliPhi will pay Intrexon royalties on the net sales of products developed under the ECC Less Less
News today - Uniqure are developing a gene therapy for Huntingdons Disease using their AAV platform (presumably derived from APHB/TGEN's technology) and have now received a 2.5m euro grant.
"uniQure B.V., a leader in the field of human gene therapy, today announced
that with its consortium partners it is to receive a EUR 2.5 million Eurostars grant to develop an RNA interference (RNAi) gene therapy for Huntington's disease. The consortium is a pan-European collaboration consisting of uniQure as the coordinator, Lausanne University Hospital, Switzerland, University Medical Center Gottingen, Germany, and Maria Curie-Skłodowska University, Poland.
The program's aim is to develop a gene therapy for the treatment of Huntington's
disease (HD), a rare and devastating neurodegenerative disease caused by
mutations in the Huntingtin (Htt) gene.
Huge article in yesterday's Sunday Times in London about routine infections becoming life-threatening, overuse of antibiotics etc.
It talks about the few methods of stopping superbugs - and specifically says:
"■ Invest in research into new treatments and drugs, such as ‘bacteriophage’ viruses that kill bacteria and can be used to sterilise dressings"
APHB are the world leaders in bacteriophages. IMO its time is about to come.
And APHB are recruiting for a Senior Scientist - hopefully this is good news and a sign of confidence:
"AmpliPhi Biosciences is seeking a Senior Scientist to work in the UK laboratory. The post holder will be part of a global team developing bacteriophages (phages) for human and animal antibacterial medicines. We seek a candidate who is motivated by our mission to develop novel healthcare products....
....The post will be based at Colworth Science Park, Sharnbrook, Bedfordshire. Travel to company sites in Sydney, Australia and Richmond, USA may be required."

New Edison research just out
There's a new catch-up note out from Edison - with a first full note to follow:
Extract:
"Investment summary: Turning a fresh p(h)age
A $7m private placement with RA Capital and Third Security, and a research collaboration with the US army, provide AmpliPhi with fresh impetus in its development of bacteriophages. These deals build on the purchase of Special Phage Services (SPS) last year and a recent strategic collaboration with Intrexon. AmpliPhi is the only company to have completed a controlled Phase I/II study with bacteriophages (naturally-occurring viruses that kill bacteria). The next steps towards technology validation are Phase I and II studies with the US army in 2014 in skin infections due to S Aureus, and a Phase II study to treat Pseudomonas infections in cystic fibrosis (CF)."
"Valuation: Modest $25m EV
We estimate AmpliPhi’s EV at $25m, based on 197m total shares now outstanding and $6.85m net cash at end-Q213. We view this as modest, particularly with regard to the CF opportunity. We will initiate full coverage of AmpliPhi in due course."
