`
`INFORMATION DISCLOSURE STATEMENT
`
`Honorable Commissioner of Patents
`and Trademarks
`Washington, D.C. 20231
`
`Sir:
`
`The following items are supplied to the United States Patent and Trademark
`Office to advance the prosecution of the subject application.
`This application is a continuation of U.S.S.N. 06/483,457, now issued as US
`Patent 4,816,567. The
`'567 patent is directed to the production of chimeric
`immunoglobulin heavy or light chains. The claims of the '567 patent do not
`exclude the additional expression of light or heavy chain, respectively, and
`therefore cover the production of chimeric immunoglobulins. Therefore, in the
`interests of good order, all of the citations of record in the parent also should
`be made of record here. These citations are listed in Group I below. Copies of
`the citations are not supplied since they are available in the file history of
`the parent.
`If they should be missing for some reason the undersigned will
`supply an additional copy upon request.
`In addition, this application presently is involved in interference 102,572
`with US Patent 4,816,397 to Boss et al. Group II below contains the citations of
`record from the face of the Boss Patent, copies of which are supplied herewith.
`Further citations have come
`to the attention of the undersigned,
`in
`particular from applications related to the Boss and Cabilly Patents. These are

`
`

`

`
`Page No. 2
`
`submitted herewith as Groups III and IV.
`immunoglobulin mRNA
`The Group III items relate to the expression of
`microinjected into Xenopus (frog) oocytes (unfertilized eggs).
`These are
`substantially cumulative to Valle et al. (1982) of record in the parent to the
`instant case, but are cited as of interest and to complete the record. Work of
`this sort is readily distinguishable from the instant claims in that the oocytes
`are not transformed with DNA, but instead are used to transiently express mRNA
`preparations.
`For the most part the citations in Group IV are concerned with hybridoma or
`myeloma cells transformed with DNA encoding either an immunoglobulin light or
`heavy chain, or relate to the processing or secretion of immunoglobulins from
`hybridoma and myeloma cells. Thus, they are substantially cumulative to Rice et
`al. (1982), which is of record in the parent, or are of theoretical interest
`only. These disclosures are clearly distinguishable from the instant claims in
`that the cells are not transformed with exogenous DNA encoding both of the heavy
`and light chains.
