              to ampicillin.  Cabilly ¶ 5 (CR-39).                                                                        
                     (11) According to Holmes, six fragments, A-F, had to be isolated to make the heavy                   
              chain expression plasmid, pGammaCEAInt2.   To make the first fragment, Holmes                               

              digested pHGH207-1* with AvaI, filled in, digested with BamHI, treated with BAP and                         

              purified the large fragment by PAGE (fragment A).  Holmes, ¶ 14. He digested                                

              pGamma11 with PstI, the fragment was purified by PAGE, digested with AvaII, filled in,                      

              and digested with TaqI.  The 375 bp fragment was isolated by PAGE (fragment B).                             

              Holmes, ¶ 15. He digested pGamma298 with TaqI, BamHI, and isolated the 496 bp                               

              fragment by PAGE (fragment C).  Holmes, ¶ 16. Holmes ligated fragments A, B and C and                       

              transformed the ligation reaction into E. coli.  The resultant transformants were analyzed by               

              restriction digestion to confirm the construction of pGammaCEAInt1. Holmes, ¶17 (CR-                        
              31).  Holmes used a 15 nucleotide DNA primer in a primer repair reaction to introduce the                   

              initiation codon into an AluI to RsaI fragment of pGamma 298 (fragment D).  Holmes, ¶ 18                    

              (CR-31).  He digested pGamma298 with PstI, BamHI, HpaII and purified the fragment by                        

              PAGE (Fragment E).  Holmes, ¶ 18 (CR-31).  He digested pGammaCEAInt1 with EcoRI,                            

              filled in, and digested with BamHI.  The then treated this fragment with BAP and purified                   

              the fragment by PAGE (Fragment F). Holmes, ¶ 18.  He then ligated fragments D, E and F                      

              and transformed the ligation reaction into E. coli.  The plasmid, pGammaCEAInt2 was                         

              said to be confirmed by restriction analysis and sequencing.  Holmes, ¶ 18 (CR-31).                         
                     (12) Holmes stated that he prepared the expression plasmid pGammaCEAtrp207-                          

                                                           15
