                        The Specification does not disclose a specific and substantial utility                         
                 for the PRO1760-specific antibodies of claims 28-32, as required by                                   
                 35 U.S.C. § 101.  We therefore affirm the Examiner’s rejection of the claims                          
                 under § 101, and the corresponding rejection under § 112, first paragraph.                            
                        No time period for taking any subsequent action in connection with                             
                 this appeal may be extended under 37 C.F.R. § 1.136(a)(1)(iv) (2006).
