Appeal No. 1996-2210 Application 08/129,722 (a) a first coding region, which codes for glutathione-S-transferase, operatively connected to a baculovirus promoter, (b) a second coding region in-frame with the first coding region, and (c) a restriction region containing at least one restriction site downstream of the first coding region, into which the second coding region is inserted; wherein a fusion protein encoded by the first and second coding regions would be produced by expression of the vector. 23. An expression vector, comprising: (a) a first coding region, which codes for glutathione-S-transferase, operatively connected to a promoter, and (b) a restriction region downstream of the first coding region having the sequence of SEQ. ID No.:5, which allows for insertion of a second coding region in-frame with the first coding region. The references relied on by the examiner are: Ausubel et al.
