Abstract:
A method for screening host cells expressing a target protein is provided. The method includes the following steps: providing an expression vector, the expression vector including a promoter, a gene encoding a target protein and an FTH1 gene; transfecting the host cells with the expression vector; culturing the host cells in a medium; and adding iron ions to the medium, and screening the surviving host cells to obtain the host cells expressing the target protein. An expression vector and a method for establishing a cell line stably expressing an exogenous recombinant gene are also provided.
Abstract:
Antibodies and antigen-binding fragments that bind to TIGIT are disclosed. The disclosure further relates to methods and compositions for use in treating an immune-related disease (e.g., a cancer or an infection or infectious disease) by administering a composition disclosed herein.
Abstract:
An in vitro method for screening a testing compound to evaluate its potential as a liver drug of the disclosure is provided. The method includes applying the testing compound to cells of an isolated human liver tumor cell line, named as ITRI-H28, measuring a cell viability of the cells and determining the effect of the testing compound on the cells by calculating a half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of the testing compound.
Abstract:
An isolated human liver tumor cell line is provided and is named as ITRI-H16, and which was deposited in the Food Industry Research and Development Institute with the accession number BCRC960432 on Nov. 7, 2011. A method of an agent screening is also provided. The method includes providing the isolated human liver tumor cell line ITRI-H16 and treating an interest compound to the ITRI-H16 cell line to determine an effect of the interesting compound on the ITRI-H16 cell line.

Abstract:
The disclosure provides a pharmaceutical composition for inhibiting angiogenesis, including an effective amount of an extract of Juniperus chinensis or an effective amount of a lignan as an effective ingredient. The pharmaceutical composition may further include a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or salt. The disclosure also provides a method for inhibiting angiogenesis, including administering an effective amount of an extract of Juniperus chinensis or an effective amount of a lignan as an effective ingredient for inhibiting angiogenesis to a subject in need thereof.
Abstract:
An isolated human liver tumor cell line is provided, which was named as ITRI-H28 and deposited in the Food Industry Research and Development Institute with the accession number BCRC960457 on Dec. 14, 2012. A method of an agent screening is also provided. The method includes providing the isolated human liver tumor cell line ITRI-H28 and adding an interest compound into the ITRI-H28 cell line to determine an effect on the ITRI-H28 cell line.
