Auriga reiterates a 'Buy' on Protalix BioTherapeutics (NYSE: PLX) price target of $8.00.

Auriga analyst says, "Protalix reported its Q4 and full year 2011 results in a 10K filing. Like many other biotech companies, revenue is almost non-existent and, other than the expected ongoing R&D expense, there are few other expenses. The company is waiting for FDA approval of its lead product, Taliglucerase alfa, off its proprietary plant cell based manufacturing platform. The PDUFA date for this product is set for May 1, 2012. We believe there is an 80% probability for Taliglucerase alfa getting approval on May 1, 2012 while the current share price implies a 55% probability of approval. We expect this gap to close we get closer to the PDUFA date and recommend accumulating shares at this level."
