Notes

(1)Attention is drawn to Notes (1) to (3) following the title of class C12.  [3,4]

(2)Therapeutic activity of single-cell proteins or enzymes is further classified in subclass A61P. [7]

(3)In this subclass, it is desirable to add the indexing codes of subclass C12R. The indexing codes should be linked.  [6]
