          Application No. 08/447,217                                                  


          The obviousness rejections utilizing Tautvydas                              
               We will not sustain the rejection of claims 1 to 20 under              
          35 U.S.C. § 103 utilizing Tautvydas as the primary reference.               


               As set forth above, the claimed "aqueous solution of                   
          polyethylene glycol" is not disclosed by Tautvydas.  We have                
          reviewed the references to Scopelianos, Van Aken Redinger and               
          Cohen but find nothing therein which would have rendered it                 
          obvious at the time the invention was made to a person having               
          ordinary skill in the art to have modified Tautvydas to arrive              
          at the claimed invention.  Accordingly, we cannot sustain the               
          examiner's rejection of appealed claims 1 to 20 under 35                    
          U.S.C.                                                                      
          § 103 utilizing Tautvydas as the primary reference.                         


          The obviousness rejections utilizing Peterson                               
               We will not sustain the rejection of claims 1, 9 and 16                
          under 35 U.S.C. § 103 utilizing Peterson as the primary                     
          reference.
