                  Application No. 09/114,552                                                                                 

                  specification, we conclude that the examiner has not met the burden of establishing                        
                  a prima facie case of obviousness of the claims over Kress, Kitamoto, Sista,                               
                  Tartaglia, Dubuc, Halaas, Cusin, and Capecchi.                                                             






















                         The rejection of claims 11-15 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as being                                     
                  unpatentable over Kress, Kitamoto, Sista, Tartaglia, Dubuc, Halaas, Cusin, and                             
                  Capecchi is reversed.
