DECISION ON APPEAL
This appeal under 35 U.S.C. § 134 involves claims directed to a genus of
isolated proteins consisting of immunoreactive portions of NY-ESO-1, a protein
identified as a tumor rejection antigen precursor. The examiner has rejected the
claims under 35 U.S.C. § 112, first paragraph, as lacking adequate written
descriptive support. We have jurisdiction under 35 U.S.C. § 6(b). We reverse.
