I would like to clarify my earlier Correspondence ("Patent dispute hangs over kringle 5", Nature 407, 128; 2000) about a patent dispute over an angiogenesis inhibitor involving my laboratory and Abbott laboratories.My laboratory did not contact Miguel Llinás of Carnegie-Mellon University about supplying kringle-containing plasminogen fragments until some months after our angiostatin paper appeared (Cell 79, 315–328; 1994) in October 1994.
