Q:

Well, you've been doing this all your life, persuading. . .

Lasker:

Yes, but I'm not fast enough.

Q:

(laughs) Well, you demonstrate a certain degree of impatience.

Lasker:

You have to be impatient.

Q:

I'm going to put your purse over here, and there's another question I wanted to ask you which is left over from last time, and that was: you spoke of Schering.

Lasker:

Schering has been making interferon.

Q:

But they had given up their attempts with leukocyte and fibroblasts, you said, and were about to concentrate on immune.

Lasker:

Well, I don't know what they're doing about leukocyte now. But they're still making whatever they were making, and they're still interested in it as a possibly widely important, medication.

Q:

Now, does Dr. Vilchek of New York University figure in anything?

Lasker:

Yes, he had a lot to do with development of immune interferon.

Q:

Is there anything current on him?
