DEFINITION

Classification: 435/7.6

Involving a modified enzyme (e.g., abzyme, recombinant, chemically altered, etc.):

(under subclass 7.1) Subject matter involving a modified enzyme which has been functionally changed through recombinant DNA techniques, chemical treatment, etc.

(1) Note. This subclass is not intended to include a mere conjugation of an enzyme to an antigen or antibody, since the function of the enzyme has not been changed.

(2) Note. An abzyme is an antibody with enzymatic activity.
