| 20120058124 | INFLUENZA VIRUS-NEUTRALIZING ANTIBODY AND SCREENING METHOD THEREFOR - Provided is an anti-influenza virus antibody that exhibits neutralizing activity beyond the barrier of the two groups of influenza viruses categorized according to the conservativeness of hemagglutinin amino acids, a method of producing the same, and a test method for determining whether the subject carries the neutralizing antibody. | 03-08-2012 |
| 20110230418 | Anticancer Agent - The present invention is an antineoplastic agent characterized by including at least one of taxol and taxol derivatives and a protein which is a mutant of diphtheria toxin, having an activity to inhibit a binding between HB-EGF and EGFR and substantially not having a toxicity of diphtheria toxin as active ingredients. | 09-22-2011 |
| 20100247559 | WEST NILE VIRUS VACCINE, AND METHOD FOR PRODUCTION THEREOF - The present invention provides virus-like particles (VLP) highly secreting or producing signal peptide obtained by altering a signal sequence derived from West Nile virus (WNV), the signal peptide, a WNV VLP secretion expression vector containing a nucleic acid encoding prM protein and E protein, a WNP VLP highly secreting or producing animal cell line harboring the vector, a WNV vaccine containing WNV VLP obtained by the cell line as an active ingredient, and a WNV DNA vaccine containing the VLP secretion expression vector as an active ingredient. | 09-30-2010 |
| 20100047247 | NERVE ELONGATION PROMOTER AND ELONGATION INHIBITOR - The invention provides agents that promote or inhibit neurite elongation comprising as an active ingredient an antibody that recognizes a varicella-zoster virus immediate-early protein and cross-reacts with a brain-derived neurotrophic factor. The invention also provides methods of utilizing such agents to prevent or treat a nervous disease or a disease with nerve hypersensitivity caused by a condition selected from the group consisting of postherpetic neuralgia, chronic pains, experience-dependent social aversion and stress. | 02-25-2010 |
| 20100005536 | Promoter for Introducing a Gene into a Lymphocyte or Blood Cell and Application Thereof - It is intended to provide a promoter for inducing expression selectively and strongly in an immunocompetent cell and/or a blood cell such as a lymphocyte. In the invention, the object was achieved by finding that HHV6 MIE promoter, HHV7 MIE promoter and HHV7 U95 promoter unexpectedly induce a specific expression in an immunocompetent cell and/or a blood cell such as a T lymphocyte. By utilizing the promoters, a selective delivery of a DNA vaccine or the like can be realized. | 01-07-2010 |
