To the extent that there would be some unpredictability in any particular altered antibody sequence, 

it is almost always possible to so construe a claim as to have it read on inoperative embodiments. . . . , but the alternative of requiring an applicant to be so specific in his claims “as to exclude materials known to be inoperative and [which] even those not skilled in the art would not try” would result in claims which would fail to comply with 35 U.S.C. § 112, second paragraph, because they would be so detailed as to obscure, rather than to particularly point out and distinctly claim, the invention.
