Appeal No. 95-4464
Application 07/605,788
of human olfactory neurons would have been obvious to one of
ordinary skill in the art in view of the teachings of Talamo and
Coon, it would appear, on this record, that the mere fact that
Talamo observed morphological differences and staining with the
monoclonal antibody ALZ-50 in olfactory neurons taken from AD
patients at autopsy, would not necessarily have suggested to
those of ordinary skill in the art the release of APP from
neuroblasts derived from AD patients, or neuroblasts from AD
patients and placed in culture, in response to an ionophore as
described by Cole.
Accordingly, on this record, we reverse the examiner’s
rejection.
The decision of the examiner is reversed.
