Abstract:
The present invention relates to a measurement method for complement-dependent bactericidal activity against Streptococcus pneumoniae, and provides a measurement method capable of measuring complement-dependent bactericidal activity against Streptococcus pneumoniae of any capsular serotype. Complement-dependent bactericidal activity against Streptococcus pneumoniae is measured using capsule-deficient Streptococcus pneumoniae, that is, non-encapsulated or substantially non-encapsulated, or transparent Streptococcus pneumoniae. The measurement of the complement-dependent bactericidal activity against Streptococcus pneumoniae of any capsular serotype is enabled.
Abstract:
Materials and methods are provided for treating influenza B infections in humans. Anti-human influenza virus monoclonal antibodies and antigen-binding fragments thereof having a neutralization activity against a human influenza B virus are provided. Methods for producing anti-human influenza B virus monoclonal antibodies are also provided. The antibodies and antigen-binding fragments thereof can be effective against a wide range of influenza B viral strains. Methods of inhibiting or treating a human influenza B infection are provided.

Abstract:
Provided is a human antibody having a neutralization activity against a human influenza virus. More specifically, provided is a human antibody which recognizes a highly conserved region in a human influenza A virus subtype H3N2 or a human influenza B virus and has a neutralization activity against the virus. The human antibody is a human anti-human influenza virus antibody, which has a neutralization activity against a human influenza A virus subtype H3N2 and binds to a hemagglutinin HA1 region of the human influenza A virus subtype H3N2, or which has a neutralization activity against a human influenza B virus, and includes, as a base sequence of a DNA encoding a variable region of the antibody, a sequence set forth in any one of SEQ ID NOS: 5 to 12.
Abstract:
An object is to provide a drug which is useful in treating a nervous system disease. A drug containing vitamin B12 as an active ingredient according to the present invention has an M2 macrophage/microglia induction promoting effect, an M1 macrophage/microglia induction inhibiting effect, a nerve regeneration promoting effect, and the like and is very useful as a therapeutic agent for a nervous system disease, and particularly useful as a therapeutic agent for a central nervous system disease such as cerebral infarction, dementia, or spinal cord injury.
Abstract:
Antibodies (Abs) play roles in protection against influenza. Neutralizing Abs either inhibit the binding of hemagglutinin (HA) to cellular receptors or prevent the conformational change of HA induced by low pH. The former Ab binds to the regions near the sialic acid-binding pocket on the globular head formed by HA1 and generally shows narrow strain specificity. The latter Ab binds to the stem region formed mainly by HA2 and shows broad strain specificity. We isolated a broadly neutralizing Ab against H3N2 viruses. X-ray analysis of the HA/Ab complex indicated that the Ab binds to the valley formed by two neighboring HA monomers at the side of the globular head. The Ab shows neutralizing activity by preventing the conformational change of HA induced at low pH.

Abstract:
A measurement signal processing unit includes a reception part that receives a compression signal y obtained by using an observation matrix Φ from a time-series detection signal of a measurement target, and a reconstruction part that reconstructs the received compression signal y. The reconstruction part includes the observation matrix Φ and a dictionary matrix Ψ including a past signal of the measurement target, obtains an estimation vector {circumflex over ( )}s by inputting the compression signal y and a sensing matrix θ to a reconstruction algorithm execution module, and derives a reconstruction signal {circumflex over ( )}x corresponding to a detection signal x by inputting, to a calculation module for obtaining a product, the obtained estimation vector {circumflex over ( )}s and the dictionary matrix Ψ.
Abstract:
A method for producing a retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cell is disclosed. The method includes promoting a differentiation induction from a pluripotent stem cell into an RPE cell by culturing the pluripotent stem cell in a medium containing an E-cadherin inhibitor. The medium may further contain a differentiation inducer. The pluripotent stem cell may be an embryonic stem(ES) cell or an induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cell.
