摘要:
The present invention provides a method for selective and high-yield separation, concentration, and recovery of desired cells from a blood sample. The method of the present invention is characterized in that the blood sample is caused to interact with lectins under conditions in which the cell membranes are inactive and cell-lectin complexes/non-complexes are formed, the sample containing these cell-lectin complexes/non-complexes is incubated together with a substrate, the surface of which is covered with polymers having carbohydrate chains which are specifically recognized by the lectins, and the cells are immobilized on the surface of the substrate via the lectins, and subsequently, the liquid layer and the solid phase are separated, and the desired blood cells are recovered from the liquid phase and/or the solid phase, and these lectins are present in such an amount that although the cells to be recovered from the solid phase bind to the solid phase with the polymer, the cells to be recovered from the liquid phase do not bind to the solid phase with the polymer.

A blood cell separating system is offered for precisely separating and concentrating rare fetal nucleated cells intermixed in the blood of a pregnant woman, to conveniently obtain test preparations capable of being used for prenatal chromosomal/genetic diagnosis. A blood cell separating system is characterized by comprising (1) a primary separating device for removing mainly non-nucleated erythrocytes, leukocytes and platelets from blood samples taken from a pregnant woman to obtain a primary separated sample, (2) a secondary separating device for using a carbohydrate-lectin method to remove residual non-nucleated erythrocytes and leukocytes from the primary separated sample obtained by the primary separating device to obtain a secondary separated sample with concentrated fetal nucleated cells, and (3) preparing device for preparing the secondary separated sample obtained by the secondary separating device.

摘要:
A medical composition is provided which is advantageous as a sealant for wound openings as well as have a function promoting healing of intractable wound or incision wound, and which accelerate tissue regeneration but does not cause any side effect such as canceration. The present invention relates to a medical composition comprising a photo-crosslinkable chitosan derivative and a wound healing promoter. The photo-crosslinkable chitosan derivative is preferably a polymer obtainable by incorporating a carbohydrate chain containing a reducing terminal to at least one portion of amino groups of chitosan back bone and incorporating a photoreactive group to at least another part of the amino groups. The wound healing promoter is preferably a growth factor.
摘要:
A functional chitosan derivative which comprises a chitin/chitosan, which is a natural polysaccharide, and incorporated therein at least one of a carbohydrate, a photo-reactive functional group, an amphipathic group, e.g. a polyoxyethylene alkyl ether, and a glycosaminoglycan and which, due to the incorporation, has solubility in a neutral medium, self-crosslinking ability, the property of highly containing water or healing wounds, and antithrombotic properties. Namely, the derivative has various properties required of health care materials such as medical products and cosmetics.

The present invention provides a functionalized polymer which can be used extensively in the field of medical drugs as well as medical devices and which is obtainable in an organic synthetic manner from glycosaminoglycan controlling adhesion, migration and proliferation of cells via linkage to various cellular growth factors or cytokines or direct interactions with the cells. The functionalized polymer of the present invention is characterized in that it comprises a carbohydrate corresponding to at least a part of the basic structure of glycosaminoglycan introduced into a vinyl-type polymer chain.

The present invention is intended to offer a novel material which combines cell-adhesive proteins such as collagen with GAG polymers to construct an environment similar to an extracellular matrix, capable of controlling differentiation and proliferation of cells. The present invention offers a glycosaminoglycan-functionalized polymer protein composite produced by combining a cell-adhesive protein with a glycosaminoglycan-functionalized polymer obtained by incorporating a carbohydrate chain containing a structure corresponding to at least a portion of a glycosaminoglycan backbone into a vinyl polymer main chain, as well as a cell culture substrate and a material for tissue reconstruction treatments comprising the composite.
摘要:
An optical pickup comprises an objective-lens driving device including a movable section provided with an objective lens, a focusing coil, and tracking coils, and a fixed section provided with a single magnetic circuit having a magnetic gap, the focusing coil and the tracking coils being disposed in the magnetic gap. The point of application of a tracking-driving force, the point of application of a result force of focusing-driving forces occurring in and outside the magnetic gap, and the position of the center of gravity of the movable section are made to substantially coincide with each other. In addition, the objective lens and the magnetic circuit are disposed within an area of a window in a lower shell of a optical disk. Further, a through hole for accommodating a lower portion of a yoke of the magnetic circuit is provided in a mounting base on which the objective-lens driving device is mounted. An inclining fulcrum and a height adjusting means for inclining the objective-lens driving device about the inclining fulcrum are provided in the vicinities of the through hole.
摘要:
A solenoid-operated cutoff valve for use with fuel cells has a movable member disposed in a guide housing for displacement upon energization of a solenoid. When the movable member is displaced, a pilot valve is unseated from a pilot valve seat. A fluid in a communication chamber flows through a pilot passage into an output port. The communication chamber is divided into a first communication chamber and a second communication chamber by a diaphragm. Under a pressure difference developed between the first communication chamber and the second communication chamber, a main valve of a valve head is unseated from a valve seat of a valve housing, opening the solenoid-operated cutoff valve.

A diaphragm is clamped between a solenoid unit disposed in a casing and a second valve body in which hydrogen is introduced. A filter comprising a bottomed cylindrical mesh member is mounted in a first passage defined in the first valve body. A restriction having an orifice for restricting the flow rate of hydrogen supplied to first and second communication chambers is mounted in a first port that is disposed upstream of the filter. The restriction and the filter are disposed coaxially in line with each other.
