              Appeal No. 2000-1812                                                                                        
              Application No. 08/432,483                                                                                  

              cell epitope of the type taught by Valmori in a manner which would result in the claimed                    
              antigenic peptide.  Thus, Weiner and Whitlock do not provide that which we have                             
              determined to be missing from the combination of Swenson and Valmori.  We therefore,                        
              reverse the remaining two grounds of rejection under 35 U.S.C. § 103.                                       
                                                       Summary                                                            

                     The rejection of claims 1, 2, 6 - 8, and 27 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as unpatentable                    
              over the combined teachings of Swenson and Valmori is reversed.  The rejection of claims                    
              1, 2, 5 - 8, 10, and 27 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as unpatentable over the combined                             
              teachings of Swenson, Valmori, and Weiner is reversed.  The rejection of claims 1, 2, 5                     























                                                           11
