                 Appeal 2006-2644                                                                                       
                 Application 10/047,945                                                                                 

                 more than the LT-10 embodiment encompassed by the claims, we do not                                    
                 rely on the lack of evidence pertaining to peptides having less than ten                               
                 amino acids.                                                                                           
                                                    SUMMARY                                                             
                        We modify the previous opinion by (1) withdrawing our reliance on                               
                 the second full paragraph on page 6, and (2) acknowledging that footnote 2                             
                 is in error (and considering Fig. 1).  Notwithstanding those modifications,                            
                 however, we conclude that the instant claims are not enabled by the                                    
                 Specification’s disclosure because the evidence of record does not show that                           
                 administration of LT-10 reduces the level of IgE (as opposed to masking it                             
                 from anti-IgE binding) or that the measured saliva levels of IgE correspond                            
                 to the “serum IgE” levels recited in the claims.
