摘要:
The present invention provides for a method for improving properties of an antibody such as an expression level and stability. A method for obtaining an antibody with an improved expression level and/or stability by modifying a human antibody or a humanized antibody, characterized by that at least any one of the amino acid residues at position 8, 12, 15 or 18 (according to Kabat numbering) in a light chain variable region (hereinafter referred to as "VL chain") of a human antibody or a humanized antibody is substituted with a different amino acid other than proline or cysteine, and a human antibody or a humanized antibody or a human antibody fragment or a humanized antibody fragment with an improved expression level and/or stability which are obtained by said method.
摘要:
It is intended to provide a novel agent for improving neurotransmission failure. In a preferable case, an agent for improving neurotransmission failure which contains, as the major active ingredient(s), a selenocysteine-containing protein typified by selenoprotein P, a C-terminal peptide of this protein or such peptides. This agent is appropriate in improving neurotransmission failure diseases caused by various factors.
摘要:
It is intended to provide a human amyloid beta peptide (hereinafter referred to as Abeta) antibody which binds to Abeta and inhibits the aggregation of Abeta molecules, and its antibody fragment. The above-described antibody or its antibody fragment has the variable region of human anti-Abeta antibody and strongly reacts with Abeta to thereby exert an effect of inhibiting the aggregation thereof. The above antibody and its antibody fragment are usable as Abeta detection reagents, preventives/remedies for Alzheimer's disease or diagnostics therefor.
摘要:
Recombinant cells having high fibrinogen production capability are prepared by, in the incorporation of genes coding for three types of proteins constituting fibrinogen, namely, alpha-chain (or variant of alpha-chain), beta-chain and gamma-chain (or variant of gamma-chain) in animal cells, causing the gene composition ratio to be such that the amount of gamma-chain (and/or variant of gamma-chain) gene is equal to or more but not exceeding 1000 times the amount of alpha-chain (and/or variant of alpha-chain) gene and beta-chain gene and further by employing baculovirus P35 gene.
摘要:
A human polyclonal antibody having an antibacterial and/or antiviral activity with a desired titer and a wide spectrum; and human polyclonal antibody composition for preventing and treating infections which contain this antibody. The human polyclonal antibody composition for preventing or treating infections contain the human polyclonal antibody which is obtained by administering as immunogen a bacterium and/or a virus or a component of the bacterium and/or the virus to a non-human animal having a human antibody gene locus and has an antibody titer against the bacterium and/or the virus exceeding that of human pool plasma.
摘要:
A method of detecting the level of thrombus formation tendency or thrombosis through determining of the quantity of von Willebrand factor splitting enzyme. There is further disclosed a kit for detecting the level of thrombus formation tendency or thrombosis, which kit includes an antibody capable of specific binding to von Willebrand factor splitting enzyme, or a fragment of the antibody. The provided detection method and detection kit excel in convenience, speed and specificity.
摘要:
A method of purifying a modified acarian main allergen obtained by a technology of genetic manipulation; and a modified acarian main allergen having been purified by the purification method. In particular, a method of purifying a modified acarian main allergen obtained by a technology of genetic manipulation, which method is characterized by comprising the steps of (1) with the use of an MF membrane, washing and recovering an inclusion body containing a modified acarian main allergen obtained by a technology of genetic manipulation, (2) dissolving the inclusion body and performing refolding, (3) with the use of an ultrafiltration membrane, concentrating the resultant modified acarian main allergen containing solution and removing low-molecular components, (4) with the use of an anion exchanger, recovering the modified acarian main allergen as a non-adsorbed fraction, (5) with the use of hydrophobic gel, recovering the modified acarian main allergen as an adsorbed fraction and (6) with the use of an anion exchanger, recovering the modified acarian main allergen as an adsorbed fraction; and a modified acarian main allergen of high purity obtained by the purification method.
