Appeal No. 94-2232
Application 07/888,367
(c) providing the RNA with a labeled cDNA so that
the RNA binds to the cDNA when there is homology and the
bound labeled DNA is detected, wherein the cDNA is derived
from
E. coli ATCC 68363, and has an open reading frame of 204
amino acids which detects the presence of the hevein
peptide
sequence encoded by the RNA.
8. A method for detecting the presence of hevein
peptide sequences in a plant material which comprises:
(a) providing a selected part of the plant material
for detection;
(b) isolating RNA from the plant material; and
(c) probing the RNA with a labeled cDNA so that the
RNA binds to the cDNA where there is homology and the
bound labeled DNA is then detected, wherein the cDNA is
derived from the cDNA shown in Figure 2 which detects the
presence of the hevein peptide sequence encoded by the
RNA.
2. Claim interpretation
We have considered this appeal with Appeal No. 94-2156
(Application 07/888,366, filed May 26, 1992, as a divisional
of Application 07/587,071, now U.S. 5,187,262, also the parent
of this application). Appeal No. 94-2156 is an appeal of this
same examiner’s rejections of claims drawn to a cDNA molecule,
HEV1, which (1) corresponds to the DNA sequence of Figure 2 as
carried in E. coli ATCC 68363 which encodes a protein, or (2)
