I don't know if it is the explanation[*] but there is a press release on
the Ilex Oncology website saying that they have recently obtained exclusive
rights to Campath-1 (CD52) diagnostics.

[*] BTG were assigned the full ownership of Campath in the late 80s early
90s and licensed it on for therapy. I think they have recently done the
same for diagnostics.
