摘要:
A method for transferring a gene into a fat cell or progenitor fat cell comprising the step of infecting the fat cell or progenitor cell with a retrovirus vector having a foreign gene in the presence of a substance having both of a retrovirus-binding site and a target cell-binding site in the molecule or a mixture of a substance having a retrovirus-binding site and a substance having a target cell-binding site, the target cell-binding site having a region that can bind to VLA-5 and/or a region that can bind to VLA-4.
摘要:
A polypeptide having a high fidelity DNA polymerase activity and thus being useful as a genetic engineering reagent; a gene encoding this polypeptide; a method of producing the polypeptide; and a method of amplifying a nucleic acid by using the polypeptide.

Disclosed are: polypeptides for TCR α-chain and β-chain which are restricted to HLA-A*0201 for Aur-A and are derived from a CTL; and nucleic acids encoding the polypeptides. The nucleic acids can impart a cytotoxic activity against a cell capable of presenting an HLA-A*0201 molecule and an Aur-A207-215 peptide thereon to a T cell, and are therefore useful for the treatment of cancer in which Aur-A is expressed.
摘要:
Disclosed are: a cell capable of expressing an exogenous GITRL or an exogenous GITRL derivative; a method for producing the cell; a therapeutic or prophylactic agent comprising the cell as an active ingredient; use of the cell in the manufacture of a therapeutic or prophylactic agent; a method comprising a step of administering the cell to a subject; a viral vector carrying a gene encoding a GITRL or a GITRL derivative; a therapeutic or prophylactic agent comprising the viral vector as an active ingredient; use of the viral vector in the manufacture of a therapeutic or prophylactic agent; and a method comprising a step of administering the viral vector to a subject.
摘要:
A method for preparing a γδ T cell population, characterized in that the method includes the step of culturing a cell population containing γδ T cells, in the presence of (a) fibronectin, a fibronectin fragment or a mixture thereof and (b) an activating factor of γδ T cells. According to the present invention, a method for preparing a γδ T cell population is provided. The γδ T cell population obtained by the method is suitably used in, for example, immunotherapy. Therefore, the method of the present invention is expected to greatly contribute to a medical field.
摘要:

摘要:
An isolated polypeptide includes the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ. ID No. 13 and an isolated nucleic acid encoding the polypeptide, such as an isolated nucleic acid including the nucleic acid sequence shown in SEQ. ID No. 17. The isolated polypeptide includes two heparin binding polypeptides connected in tandem and the isolated nucleic acid encodes these. The polypeptide and nucleic acid sequences can improve retroviral vector mediated gene transfer efficiency into target cells.

摘要:
Medicinal compositions for treating, ameliorating or preventing diseases with sensitivity to 3,6-anhydrogalactopyranose represented by formula (1): foods, drinks, cosmetics, etc. containing as the active ingredient at least one member selected from the group consisting of the above-mentioned compound, its aldehyde, its hydrate and 2-O-methylated derivatives thereof and soluble sugar compounds containing the above compound. This compound also shows, for example, an apoptosis-inducing activity, a carcinostatic activity and inhibitory activities on the production of active oxygen, lipid peroxide radicals and NO, which makes it useful also as the active ingredient of antioxidants and preservatives.
