摘要:
An image forming apparatus that forms an image using a plurality photoconductor bodies includes a cleanerless transfer belt configured to convey paper to the plurality of photoconductor bodies and a switching unit configured to switch on/off a cleaner for each of the photoconductor bodies, on the basis of whether a single mono-colored developing agent is adhered to the transfer belt or whether two or more mono-colored developing agents are adhered to the transfer belt. A control unit is configured to control a change of a transfer bias for each of the photoconductor bodies, when the switching unit switches on/off the cleaners.

Provided herein is a method for efficiently producing a hybridoma producing a specific antibody using an artificial lymph node.The method for producing an antigen-specific monoclonal antibody, comprising the following steps of: (a) immunizing a nonhuman animal with an antigen and then transplanting a polymeric biomaterial containing a stromal cell that produces a cytokine into the immunized nonhuman animal, thereby causing the nonhuman animal to form an artificial lymph node; (b) collecting the artificial lymph node formed in step (a) and then transplanting the artificial lymph node into a nonhuman immunodeficient animal; (c) immunizing the nonhuman immunodeficient animal into which the artificial lymph node is transplanted in step (b) with the antigen of step (a) above; (d) collecting a splenocyte from the nonhuman immunodeficient animal immunized in step (c); and (e) fusing the splenocyte collected in step (d) with a myeloma cell to form an antibody-producing hybridoma.

A print data generating apparatus to generate print data, which is to be used in a printing apparatus to form an image in a plurality of colorants, based on originally inputted image data representing the image, is provided. The print data generating apparatus includes a black enabled image data converter unit to convert the inputted image data into black enabled image data, which indicates scale values of a plurality of colors including a black color to be used in the image, a white scale value calculator unit to obtain scale values of a white color to be used in the image to be formed. The white scale value calculator unit calculates the scale values of the white color by inverting the scale values of the black color obtained in the conversion by the black enabled image data converter unit.
