DEFINITION

Classification: 424/137.1

Binds specifically-identified oligosaccharide structure:

(under subclass 130.1) Subject matter involving an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof whose antigen-binding site(s) will combine with a specifically-identified oligosaccharide structure.

(1) Note. Some of the oligosaccharide structures disclosed in the patents of this subclass are expressed on the surfaces of cancer cells as components of glycoproteins or glycolipids, and are related to the A, B, Le, or H blood-group antigens.

(2) Note. It is suggested that the patents in this subclass be cross-referenced to the appropriate subclass(es) that provide for antibodies that bind the cell(s) upon which the oligosaccharide structure is expressed, if such disclosure is present.
