The sequence information in the paper copy or PDF file of the Sequence Listing filed:
herewith;
as part of the originally-filed specification of this application;

;

for the above identified application, is identical to the sequence information in the
only

other (specify second, third, fourth, etc.)
computer readable form which was filed on
in application number

filed

,
.

This computer readable form was compliant with 37 CFR 1.821-1.825, and applicant hereby requests
that it be used as the computer readable form for the present application, in accordance with 37 CFR
1.821(e).
.

The above referenced paper copy or PDF file of the Sequence Listing contains no new matter.
A sequence listing text file submitted via EFS-Web that complies with the requirements of 37 CFR 1.824(a)
(2)-(6) and (b) (i.e., is a compliant sequence listing ASCII text file), serves as both the paper copy required
by 37 CFR 1.821(c) and the CRF required by 37 CFR 1.821(e). If a user submits a compliant sequence
listing ASCII text file via EFS-Web, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office will not carry out a request to use a
compliant computer readable “Sequence Listing” that is already on file for another application pursuant to 37
CFR 1.821(e) but will use the sequence listing submitted with the application as originally filed via EFS-Web.

It is understood that upon the transfer of a copy of the computer readable form to this application, the
U.S. Patent and Trademark Office will update the copy of the computer readable form to reflect the
application number and filing date for this application.
