Ugh. Price was CEO of NTII, during the days when they let memantine sit and rot. There may be some choice comments at the beginning of the NTII thread??

Tobacco....... the first seven claims of the Epicyte patent........

1. A transgenic plant, comprising:

(a) plant cells containing nucleotide sequences encoding immunoglobulin heavy- and light-chain polypeptides, wherein each polypeptide contains a leader sequence forming a secretion signal; and

(b) immunoglobulin molecules encoded by said nucleotide sequences, wherein said leader sequence is cleaved from said immunoglobulin molecules following proteolytic processing.

2. The plant of claim 1 wherein at least one of the leader sequences is a heterologous leader sequence.

3. The plant of claim 1 wherein the nucleotide sequences encode a mammalian immunoglobulin.

4. The plant of claim 1 wherein the immunoglobulin is an immunoglobulin superfamily molecule.

5. The plant of claim 1 which is a dicotyledonous plant.

6. The plant of claim 1 which is a monocotyledonous plant.

7. The plant of claim 1, which is a tobacco plant.

(69 total claims)

Perhaps there is some point of contention, where Planet or LSBC or ????????? believe they can sneak through?
