          Appeal No. 2001-2413                                                         
          Application No. 09/167,894                                                   


          provide the factual basis necessary to support the examiner’s                
          conclusion.                                                                  


               Upon the return of the application to the technology center,            
          the examiner may wish to consider whether the above noted                    
          deficiency in Sadri relative to the subject matter recited in                
          claim 7 might be cured by prior art gene therapy techniques, such            
          as those exemplified by U.S. Patent No. 5,328,470 to Nabel et                
          al., which is of record, and/or International Application No. WO             
          93/09239, a copy of which is attached, thereby warranting the                
          entry of a new 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) rejection of this claim.                   


                                       SUMMARY                                         
               The decision of the examiner to reject claims 1 and 7 is                
          affirmed with respect to claim 1 and reversed with respect to                
          claim 7.                                                                     











                                          7
