He has been He's rythropoietin application. xcluded from talking about erythropoietin. alking about other -- two examples of proteins that ere produced at Amgen. All right? nd your topics do not even ask bout -- do not even ask about the prosecution istory or the application -- the prosecution of hese patents, so it's entirely outside of the cope. Not even close. ou can explain to Judge Young how a uestion here in 1988 ties to a specific science as oticed in your topics. I'd like to hear the xplanation now. R. JAGOE: uestion? R.

JAGOE: I told you my understanding of he topic was that it was related to all recombinant xpression of glycoproteins other then EPO prior to 985 and I think we've established now that t-PA was uch a protein. R. GAEDE: The face of your topics as rafted by your firm says, "All efforts by Amgen," opic 3. Topic 4 says, "All efforts by Amgen." t says nothing in your topics about fforts by other parties. R.

R. GAEDE: Objection; the question as hrased is argumentative. Counsel is reading from xhibit No. 20, a document from the prosecution istory, and therefore the question is outside the cope and also calls for a legal conclusion. HE WITNESS: I don't know what was the nowledge of other people at Amgen in this time rame regarding expression of proteins in mammalian ells. Y MR. JAGOE: n your current state of preparation as a 0(b)(6) witness, you can only identify CHO cells, OS cells and 293 cells as being used at Amgen to btain glycosylated polypeptides prior to 1985? hat's not true.
