  • Patent number: 10620215
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a fluorescence sensor capable of real-time imaging for measuring a cellular thiol level. The present invention reveals that the fluorescence intensity of the fluorescent real-time SH group-tracer (FreSH-Tracer) of the present invention increases or decreases continuously, ratiometrically or reversibly depending on the thiol level in living cells, and thus can be usefully used as a biosensor which is remarkably susceptible to quantitative or qualitative real-time detection of the cellular thiol level in living cells.

  • Patent number: 10087248
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a TNF-? (tumor necrosis factor-alpha)/CXCL-10 (C-X-C motif chemokine 10) double targeting antibody based on the IgG format. Specifically, it was verified that an antibody, in which scFv having a heavy chain variable domain and a light chain variable domain of the CXCL10 specific antibody links to the C-terminus of the heavy chain constant domain of the TNF-? specific antibody, is a bispecific antibody that effectively binds to both TNF-? and CXCL10, and thus the antibody can be useful as a double targeting antibody capable of identifying TNF-?/CXCL10. A composition of the present invention comprises a TNF-?/CXCL-10 double targeting antibody which effectively binds to both TNF-? and CXCL10. The double targeting antibody of the present invention has excellent TNF-? inhibitory activity and osteoclast differentiation inhibitory activity compared with the TNF-? or CXCL10 single targeting antibody.

  • Patent number: 7491768
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an anti-microbial or anti-coagulating polymer resin and a method for preparing the same, and a medical appliance or instrument using the same, and more particularly to a method for preparing an anti-microbial or anti-coagulating medical polymer resin comprising the steps of simply mixing a polymer resin with at least one kind of pharmaceutically active material without using a solvent. The pharmaceutically active material is preferably an anti-microbial or anti-coagulant. According to the present invention, an anti-microbial or anti-coagulating material that is safe to a human body is mixed with a polymer resin by simple addition in an environmentally favorable non-solvent method, thereby maintaining superior anti-microbial effects even after high temperature molding, minimizing a released amount of anti-microbial to increase anti-microbial effect durability, and solving a toxic problem in a body.
