(SAN DIEGO) -- The companies manufacturing an experimental drug treating two American Ebola patients aren't among the largest multinational pharmaceuticals in the world. In fact, leading the effort is a small nine-employee firm in San Diego.
Mapp Biopharmaceutical Inc., founded in 2003, says on its website that it develops, "novel pharmaceuticals for the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases, focusing on unmet needs in global health and biodefense."
Mapp's commercialization arm is LeafBio Inc., which has no employees and just two owners, Mapp President Larry Zeitlin tells ABC News.
Mapp, along with LeafBio and Defyrus Inc. in Toronto, Canada, collaborated to create the trademarked ZMapp.
The three firms say in a statement that ZMapp has not yet been evaluated for safety in humans, but was first identified as a drug candidate in January 2014.
"As such, very little of the drug is currently available," the three companies said in a statement Monday. "Any decision to use an experimental drug in a patient would be a decision made by the treating physician under the regulatory guidelines of the FDA. Mapp and its partners are cooperating with appropriate government agencies to increase production as quickly as possible."

If either lives....and I don’t think so....The government will still “buy” their research for a bazillion dollars and they will smile all the way to the bank.
Usually it’s about the money. THere’s some difference if the stuff in question really works. Then, later, it will be about the money again.
I mean, it’s not Solyndra, which never worked.
I thought I had heard that Pelosi’s husband owned the company, but I can’t find that reference. I’m not trying to start rumors. I just wanted to find out who really does own it. Do you (or anyone else) know how to get that information?
From their website, if this helps:
Mapp Signing Official’s Kevin J. Whaley, CEO and Larry Zeitlin, President and Principal Investigator’s Kevin, J. Whaley, Ph.D. and Larry Zeitlin, Ph.D. at kwhaley@mapp-biopharmaceutical.com and larry.zeitlin@mappbio.com.respectively.
Thanks, JoyjoyfromNJ. I wonder two things... who in the government are they related to, and who actually owns the companies. When I have time I’ll look into it. But I don’t know how to go about finding out the owners of either private or public corporations.

The same month Obola started advertising for transportation for those poor widdle kiddies crossing the border.
