Abstract: Disclosed is a DNA construct that is useful for efficient generation of recombinant CHO cells useful for the production of target proteins. The DNA construct is a construct comprising, from a 5? end toward a 3? end, a first homologous DNA fragment, a target protein gene, and a second homologous DNA fragment. The first and second homologous DNA fragments have homology allowing for homologous recombination with a part of a hypoxanthine-phosphoribosyltransferase enzyme (hprt) locus in a CHO cell genome and have a chain length of not less than 1 kbp.

Abstract: The sapphire substrate has a principal surface for growing a nitride semiconductor to form a nitride semiconductor light emitting device and comprising a plurality of projections of the principal surface, wherein an outer periphery of a bottom surface of each of the projections has at least one depression. This depression is in the horizontal direction. The plurality of projections are arranged so that a straight line passes through the inside of at least any one of projections when the straight line is drawn at any position in any direction in a plane including the bottom surfaces of the plurality of projections.

Abstract: A sapphire substrate having one principal surface on which a nitride semiconductor is grown, said one principal surface having a plurality of projections. Each of the projections has a generally pyramidal shape with a not truncated, more sharpened tip and with an inclined surface composed of a crystal growth-suppression surface that lessens or suppresses the growth of the nitride semiconductor and also which has an inclination change line at which an inclination angle discontinuously varies.

Abstract: A light emitting element having a recess-protrusion structure on a substrate is provided. A semiconductor light emitting element 100 has a light emitting structure of a semiconductor 20 on a first main surface of a substrate 10. The first main surface of the substrate 10 has substrate protrusion portion 11, the bottom surface 14 of each protrusion is wider than the top surface 13 thereof in a cross-section, or the top surface 13 is included in the bottom surface 14 in a top view of the substrate. The bottom surface 14 has an approximately polygonal shape, and the top surface 13 has an approximately circular or polygonal shape with more sides than that of the bottom surface 14.
