摘要:
An object of the present invention is to reveal association of macrophages with the development/progression of a cancer, and to provide a novel pharmaceutical composition for the prevention or treatment of a cancer. The present invention provides a pharmaceutical composition for the prevention or treatment of a cancer; a composition for killing fibroblasts locating adjacent to a tumor tissue; a composition for promoting infiltration of cytotoxic T cells into a tumor tissue; a composition for suppressing the expression of a gene(s) in fibroblasts, which gene(s) suppress(es) infiltration of cytotoxic T cells into a tumor; a composition for promoting the growth of cytotoxic T cells; a composition for enhancing the cytotoxic activity of cytotoxic T cells; and a composition for enhancing the expression of a gene(s) associated with the cytotoxicity of cytotoxic T cells; containing, as an effective component, a substance having an ability to kill CD206-positive M2 macrophages.

To ensure that a biodegradable medical implement dissolves in vivo at an appropriate dissolution rate. The biodegradable medical implement of the present invention is formed of a magnesium material, and, at least in one transverse section, a layer of magnesium crystal grains in which a (0001) plane in a hexagonal crystal structure is oriented toward a surface side is continuous over an entire circumference.

The present invention addresses the problem of providing a wound contact member (or "contact layer") that directly promotes wound healing when continuously performing negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT). As a solution, there is provided dry amniotic membrane manufactured by a specified drying process, that is, raw amniotic membrane placed inside a processing tank (10) is continuously heated using an infrared heater (14) provided inside the processing tank (10) while performing a depressurization operation that places the processing tank in a depressurized state and irradiation of the raw amniotic membrane with microwaves from a microwave generating device (30) provided inside the processing tank (10) to apply energy to water molecules present inside the amniotic membrane and cause drying during a pressure recovery operation that slightly raises the pressure inside the depressurized processing tank (10) toward atmospheric pressure. Amniotic membrane, which has been dried by repeating the above process and thereby retains its cell and tissue structure, is used as a contact layer when performing negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) on an open abdominal wound and/or wound dehiscence, which increases the healing effect of NPWT.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED A burdock fruit extract containing arctigenin at high content and its production method are provided, and both of which are used for treatment of pancreatic cancer. SOLUTION The burdock fruit extract containing arctigenin at high content by enzymatically converted arctiin into arctigenin with beta-glucosidase, which is an enzyme occurring endogenously in a burdock fruit, and adding ethanol, extracting, concentrating and then freeze-drying or spray drying.

An object of the present invention is to stimulate a T cell without using a peptide/MHC tetramer. In the present invention, the step of supplying an antigen peptide to a T cell having a T cell receptor (TCR) that can recognize the antigen peptide on cell surface to form a complex of a major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecule on the cell surface of the T cell and the antigen peptide is used, and the T cell is stimulated through recognition by TCR of the antigen peptide as the MHC molecule-antigen peptide complex on the cell surface of the same T cell. Such a stimulating and activating method would be applicable to not only T cells, but also various cells. According to the present invention, an antigen-specific T cell can be identified without establishing any antigen-specific T cell strain, and without using such a reagent as MHC/peptide tetramer. That is, a cancer-specific T cell can be efficiently and conveniently identified.

[Problem to be solved] The object of the present invention is to provide a cocktail antibody useful for determining the histological type of cancer, and a determination method using the same cocktail antibody is disclosed. A determination kit is also provided. [Means to solve the problem] The cocktail antibody is used to determine the histological type of lung carcinoma, and includes an ADC cocktail antibody that shows an antigen-antibody reaction with Napsin-A that is localized in cytoplasm of adenocarcinoma and TTF-1 that is localized in a cell nucleus of adenocarcinoma, and an SCC cocktail antibody that shows an antigen-antibody reaction with CK14 that is localized in cytoplasm of squamous cell carcinoma and p63 that is localized in a cell nucleus of squamous cell carcinoma.
