  • Patent number: 8916525
    Abstract: The present invention relates to TNFR2-TWEAKR fusion protein, more precisely to TNFR2-TWEAKR fusion protein acting as a double-antagonist to TNF-? and TWEAK, known as major causes of autoimmune arthritis which is one of autoimmune diseases. When the composition comprising TNFR2-TWEAKR fusion protein was treated to Th17 cells, the secretion of the inflammatory cytokine IL-17 was reduced but the secretion of the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 generated in Treg cells was increased. Such effect of TNFR2-TWEAKR fusion protein was far greater than that of a single protein such as TNFR2-Fc or TWEAK-Fc. The TNFR2-TWEAKR fusion protein of the present invention has not only excellent treatment effect on arthritis in CIA mouse model not also excellent treatment effect on autoimmune rheumatoid arthritis by increasing the expression of Treg, the immune suppressive cells.

  • Publication number: 20130022642
    Abstract: The present invention relates to TNFR2-IL21R fusion protein acting as a double-antagonist to TNF-alpha (?) and IL-21. The composition containing the double antagonist to TNF-? and Il-21 (TNFR2-IL21R fusion protein), known as major causes of autoimmune rheumatoid arthritis, one of autoimmune diseases, can reduce the secretion of inflammatory cytokine, increase the secretion of anti-inflammatory cytokine, and suppress the differentiation of osteoclasts better than single proteins such as TNFR2-Fc and IL21R-Fc. The TNFR2-IL21R fusion protein of the present invention has not only excellent treatment effect on arthritis in CIA mouse model not also excellent treatment effect on autoimmune rheumatoid arthritis by increasing the expression of Treg, the immune suppressive cells. Therefore, the TNFR2-IL21R fusion protein of the present invention can be effectively used as an active ingredient for the composition for the prevention and treatment of autoimmune disease.

  • Patent number: 6663480
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a polishing pad for the chemical mechanical polishing (CMP). According to the present invention, there is provided a chemical mechanical polishing pad for polishing a semiconductor wafer with chemicals containing predetermined components supplied between the semiconductor wafer and the polishing pad, comprising a base layer; and an abrasive layer which contains polishing abrasives capsulated with a material soluble in the chemicals and is formed to have a constant thickness on the top surface of the base layer. The capsulated polishing abrasives become free abrasives in the chemicals supplied upon polishing, and take part in the polishing. Capsulating the polishing abrasives can be performed by granulization or spraying. According to the polishing pad of the present invention, planarization polishing can be performed as whole. In addition, since a small amount of chemicals are used, it is advantageous in the economic and environmental aspects.
