Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for encoding and decoding an image by skip encoding. The image-encoding method by skip encoding, which performs intra-prediction, comprises: performing a filtering operation on the signal which is reconstructed prior to an encoding object signal in an encoding object image; using the filtered reconstructed signal to generate a prediction signal for the encoding object signal; setting the generated prediction signal as a reconstruction signal for the encoding object signal; and not encoding the residual signal which can be generated on the basis of the difference between the encoding object signal and the prediction signal, thereby performing skip encoding on the encoding object signal.

Abstract: Provided are a modified IL-7 polypeptide and a fusion protein containing the modified IL-7 polypeptide. The fusion protein of the modified IL-7 includes: a first domain containing an interleukin-7 polypeptide; a second domain containing an oligopeptide having 1 to 10 amino acid residues (with proviso that the second domain excludes the oligopeptide consisting of methionine and/or glycine); and (c) a third domain which prolongs the half-life of the IL-7 fusion protein. The modified IL-7 polypeptide is composed of the (a) first domain and the (b) second domain. The modified IL-7 polypeptide and the fusion protein are expressed in a higher yield than the wild-type IL-7 and shows increased stability.
