Appeal No. 2000-1780 Application No. 08/403,663 Appeal No. 2000-1778 Application No. 08/257,029 Claims 28, 43, 44 and 49 are illustrative of the subject matter on appeal and are reproduced below: 28. A method of assaying a substance for binding to human GluR3, which comprises the steps of: incubating a cellular host, or a membrane preparation derived from said cellular host, with labeled GluR3 ligand to form a ligand/receptor complex, the cellular host having incorporated expressibly therein a heterologous polynucleotide that encodes a human GluR3 selected from the group consisting of human GluR3A and human GluR3B, removing unbound ligand, and measuring the amount of ligand displaced from or remaining in the receptor/ligand complex. 43. A method as claimed in claim 28, wherein the cellular host has incorporated expressibly therein a heterologous polynucleotide that encodes human GluR3 selected from the group consisting of human GluR3A and human GluR3B. 44. A method as claimed in claim 43, wherein the cellular host has incorporated expressibly therein a heterologous polynucleotide that encodes human GluR3A having the sequence of SEQ ID NO:2. 49. A method as claimed in claim 28, wherein the heterologous polynucleotide is plasmid pBS/humGluR3A (ATCC 75218). 81Page: Previous 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
