  • Patent number: 10099414
    Abstract: A mold clamping device of an injection molding machine supports a motor fixing member configured to fix a mold opening/closing motor to a rear platen, on a base frame through a support member and slide plates. When viewed from a direction of a drive shaft of the mold opening/closing motor, the width of the support member is formed to progressively increase outwardly from the motor fixing member toward the base frame, and on a portion of the support member that is located on the base frame side, the slide plates are provided at at least both ends of the portion in a width direction of the support member.

  • Patent number: 10004739
    Abstract: The present invention aims to elucidate a polynucleotide as a novel responsible gene for cancer and aims to thus provide a method for detecting the polynucleotide and a polypeptide encoded by the polynucleotide and a detection kit, a probe set, and a primer set for the detection. The present invention also aims to provide a pharmaceutical composition for treating cancer. The method detects a fusion gene composed of a portion of an FGFR3 gene and a portion of a TACC3 gene or a fusion protein encoded by the fusion gene. The primer set, the probe set, or the detection kit comprises a sense primer and a probe set designed from the portion encoding FGFR3 and an antisense primer and a probe set designed from the portion encoding TACC3. Since an inhibitor of the polypeptide exhibits antitumor effect, a pharmaceutical composition for treating cancer which is positive for either the fusion gene or the polypeptide is provided.

  • Publication number: 20130137111
    Abstract: It was found that a new fusion gene of a portion of the KIF5B gene and a portion of the RET gene, which is present in a portion of cancer patients, is a gene responsible for cancer. Based on this finding, detection methods of a polynucleotide as the gene and a polypeptide encoded by the polynucleotide were established. The detection methods involve detecting a fusion gene of a portion of the KIF5B gene and a portion of the RET gene, or a fusion protein encoded by such a fusion gene. The primer sets and the detection kits comprise sense primers designed from a portion encoding KIF5B and antisense primers designed from a portion encoding RET.
