    GTC Biotherapeutics Announces EMEA
    Accepts MAA Submission for Review Of ATryn

    FRAMINGHAM, Mass.--Feb. 27, 2004--GTC Biotherapeutics, Inc.
    ("GTC", Nasdaq: GTCB) announced today that the European Medicines
    Evaluation Agency (EMEA) has accepted for review GTC's Market
    Authorization Application (MAA) submission of ATryn(R), its
    recombinant human antithrombin. With the acceptance of the MAA, the
    EMEA begins its review process to determine if ATryn(R) is acceptable
    for use in Europe as a treatment of hereditary antithrombin
    deficiency.
    "We are very pleased that the EMEA will begin the review process
    for ATryn(R)," stated Geoffrey F. Cox, Ph.D., GTC's Chairman of the
    Board and Chief Executive Officer. "We are looking forward to what we
    believe will be a successful conclusion in the review of ATryn(R)."
    GTC recently completed a multinational safety and efficacy study
    of ATryn(R) in the prophylactic treatment of hereditary antithrombin
    deficiency during high risk situations such as surgery and childbirth.
    The MAA submission includes data from this trial as well as data from
    high risk patients treated under a compassionate use program.
    Antithrombin is a plasma protein with anticoagulant and
    anti-inflammatory properties. GTC expresses this protein in the milk
    of goats that have the human antithrombin gene linked to a
    milk-protein promoting gene. This transgenic approach provides the
    opportunity to produce recombinant forms of proteins, such as
    antithrombin, that are difficult to express in conventional production
    methods.
    GTC Biotherapeutics is a leader in the development, production,
    and commercialization of therapeutic proteins through transgenic
    animal technology. GTC has three internal proprietary products in its
    pipeline and a portfolio of external program production opportunities.
    In addition to the ATryn(R) program, GTC is developing a recombinant
    human serum albumin and a malaria vaccine. In its external programs,
    GTC's technology is used to develop transgenic production of its
    partners' proprietary products, including both large-volume protein
    therapeutics as well as products that are difficult to produce in
    significant quantities from conventional bioreactor systems. GTC's
    external program collaborations are developing transgenic versions of
    products such as monoclonal antibodies and immunoglobulin fusion
    proteins for conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, HIV/AIDS and
    cancer. One of the external programs recently entered clinical trials
    with a transgenically produced product. Additional information is
    available on the GTC web site, www.gtc-bio.com.

    in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including
    without limitation statements regarding the expected outcomes of
    regulatory submissions for the ATryn(R) program. Such forward-looking

    Deze daling van GTC is met name het gevolg van geruchten. Aan de ene kant bestaat er de kans dat de testgroep te klein is en dat er meer onderzoek/ informatie wordt geeist door de EMEA, wat natuurlijk weer meer tijd gaat kosten. Ook zijn er geruchten van mogelijke bijwerkingen, waardoor er ook meer onderzoek moet plaatsvinden.
