Abstract: A tape adhering apparatus and a tape adhering method for adhering an ACF tape formed from an anisotropic conductive film to a target adhering area on a substrate are disclosed. It is an objective of the invention to provide a tape adhering apparatus and a tape adhering method that enable shortening of a time consumed by operation for adhering one cut piece of an ACF tape. According to the present invention, the separator is peeled from the cut piece of the ACF tape by letting the tape conveyor means convey the tape member in synchronism with the transfer action of the transfer base and thereafter a cut portion of the ACF tape to be next adhered is placed at the cutting position of the tape cutting means by letting the tape conveyor means continually convey the tape member in the forward conveyance direction.

Abstract: The pressing tool and the ACF tape cutting device are linked and connected with each other by a link device, and the forcing member is caused to move relatively towards and away from the knife member by lifting up and down the pressing tool so as to form a cut. By allowing the tool lifting device to double as a drive device for causing the forcing member to move relatively towards and away from the knife member, the necessity of the actuator of the ACF tape cutting device which is needed in the related art tape adhering device can be obviated.

Abstract: Previously, it was difficult to obtain high-affinity antibodies that specifically bind to HMGB-1 but not to HMGB-2. Under this circumstance, the present inventors successfully obtained antibodies that are more reactive to HMGB-1 than to HMGB-2 by using specific peptides as an antigen. The present inventors also demonstrated that the antibodies had a HMGB-1-neutralizing activity. The present inventors administered the antibodies to amyloidosis model animals, and as a result, successfully demonstrated that the antibodies produced a significant therapeutic effect.

After a cut piece 4S of an ACF tape 4 is pressed against and adhered to a target adhering area Sa on a substrate 2 by a press tool 22, a transfer base 14 is transferred, and a tape member Tp is then forwardly conveyed in synchronism with transfer of the transfer base 14 in such a way that the press tool 22 comes to an elevated position above the target adhering area Sa on the substrate 2 where the cut piece 4S of the ACF tape 4 is to be adhered, thereby peeling a separator Sp off from the cut piece 4S of the ACF tape 4. A tape cutting unit 24 is disposed downstream of a region Rg of, immediately below the press tool 22, of the tape member Tp conveyed by the tape conveyor unit 23 with respect to a forward conveyance direction of the tape member Tp.
