              Appeal No. 2007-0057                                                                  
              Application No. 10/174,586                                                            

                                            SUMMARY                                                 
                    We affirm the rejections for lack of patentable utility and lack of             
              adequate written description, because the evidence of record does not                 
              support Appellants’ position that PRO270 would be expected to share the               
              activity of thioredoxin.  We affirm the anticipation rejections based on Tang         
              and Lin or Strausberg, reverse the rejection based on Mao, and vacate the             
              rejection based on Ruben.                                                             
                    No time period for taking any subsequent action in connection with              
              this appeal may be extended under 37 CFR § 1.136(a)(1)(iv) (2006).
