                 Appeal No. 2006-2575                                                                                  
                 Application No. 10/025,567                                                                            

                        We affirm the obviousness rejection of claim 6.  Claims 7, 12, 22, and                         
                 23 fall with claim 6.                                                                                 
                 9.  OBVIOUSNESS OF CLAIMS 24-29                                                                       
                        Claims 24-29 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as being                                  
                 obvious over Tokoro, Kaspers, Pimentel, Stolle, Krause, Adalsteinsson, and                            
                 Betz.  (Answer 20.)                                                                                   
                        We reverse this rejection.                                                                     
                        Claims 24-29 all recite compositions comprising antibodies to either                           
                 P antigen, CS antigen, or CA antigen.  As discussed supra with respect to                             
                 claims 13-21, the Examiner has not shown, and we do not see, where                                    
                 Tokoro, Kaspers, Pimentel, Krause, Adalsteinsson and Betz, alone or in                                
                 combination, suggest a composition containing antibodies to those antigens.                           
                 We see nothing in Stolle, or the Examiner’s reasoning, that remedies the                              
                 deficiencies of Tokoro, Kaspers, Pimentel, Krause, Adalsteinsson and Betz.                            
                        We therefore reverse the obviousness rejection of claims 24-29.                                
                                                    SUMMARY                                                            
                        We reverse the written description and enablement rejections of                                
                 claims 1, 3, 5-7, and 12-29.                                                                          
                        We reverse the new matter rejection of claims 5 and 12.                                        
                        We affirm the obviousness rejections of claims 1, 3, 5-7, 12, 22 and                           
                 23.                                                                                                   
                        We reverse the obvious rejections of claims 13-21 and 24-29.                                   






                                                          29
