Abstract: The present invention provides an antibody that binds to an NTCP, capable of inhibiting infection of human hepatocytes with hepatitis B virus (HBV) particles. The present invention also provides an antibody that binds to an NTCP, capable of inhibiting infection of human hepatocytes with hepatitis B virus (HBV) particles, the antibody having a reduced effect on bile acid transport by NTCP.

Abstract: A power supply system includes a forcible disconnecting unit configured to forcibly disconnect a battery in a battery module from series regardless of a gate drive signal. The power supply system obtains the number of batteries included in the battery modules which can be forcibly disconnected from the series according to the maximum voltage of the batteries that can be connected in the series and a voltage command value indicating a voltage to be output, and forcibly disconnects the obtained number of the batteries from the series by the forcible disconnecting unit.

Abstract: A battery pack of the present disclosure includes at least one battery module, a case that accommodates the battery module, a cooler configured to use a bottom portion of the case including a mounting surface on which the battery module is mounted as a partition, the cooler exchanging heat between the battery module and a coolant through the bottom portion, and a recess formed on the bottom portion so as to be recessed from the mounting surface, the recess surrounding the mounting surface along a pair of side portions and a pair of end wall portions of the case.

Abstract: A pipe support structure which is constructed to utilize the Coriolis force and the reaction force caused, thereby making it possible to suppress the hose compliance amount in the high temperature area while maintaining the degree of freedom of mountability specific for the resin pipe and to realize the above suppressing effect by the simple construction and at a low cost.

Abstract: An electronic control unit is configured to: i) calculate a restriction target value of input electric current to a battery depending on detection value of a current sensor, in a charge control of charging the battery such that charging electric power to the battery is below a permissible value, ii) calculate voltage value of the battery when the battery is charged based on the restriction target value, in a case where the detection value exceeds the restriction target value, iii) calculate a basic permissible value of the charging electric power to the battery, from the restriction target value and the voltage value, and iv) set a regeneration restriction rate to a higher value, as a difference value between the restriction target value and the detection value increases, or as at least one of vehicle speed and the charging electric power when the detection value exceeds the restriction target value increases.
