That's great news!! BUT....my question is this: the time frame for the studies is 2 years so does that mean this assay will not be commercially available until 2-3 years from now?

Oh, so the doctors will soon have the test in their office and sign everyone up for the clinical trials? Since I'm now on the 8 week Tysabri cycle I hope I can still get a test. Oh, and if they test us, will Biogen even tell us whether we are positive or negative? I worry they won't because they don't want people dropping off of Tysabri if they are positive.

I am still confused!

The trials are what Biogen/Elan have to do to get the JC Virus antibody assay into the label for Tysabri as reducing the PML risk.
