Update on development programs - good progress
Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections - In September Intercell received

patients.
Clostridium difficile vaccine candidate - Intercell received positive first
data from a Phase I clinical trial with the Company's vaccine candidate,
IC84, to prevent disease caused by the bacterium Clostridium difficile (C.
