  • Publication number: 20240082387
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a fusion protein comprising a SARS-CoV-2-derived receptor-binding domain and a nucleocapsid protein, and the use thereof. The fusion protein comprising a coronavirus-derived receptor-binding domain and a nucleocapsid protein is highly applicable to a multivalent vaccine composition having greatly improved in-vivo half-life and remarkably superior efficacy compared to an immunogenic composition comprising only a receptor-binding domain. In particular, the fusion protein can greatly improve the titer of the coronavirus-specific antibody formation and T-cell immune response, and is thus useful for the prevention and treatment of coronaviruses comprising SARS-CoV-2.

  • Patent number: 11597914
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition for the differentiation of dental pulp stem cells into odontoblasts and an IgG or IgM type monoclonal antibody that specifically binds to the surface of odontoblasts differentiated from the stem cells. According to the present invention, BMP2 and BMP4 are optimally combined to significantly increase the differentiation efficiency of dental pulp stem cells into odontoblasts, to induce the mineralization of the matrix, and to improve the differentiation ability of odontoblasts into dentin. Further, the IgG or IgM monoclonal antibody that specifically binds to the surface of odontoblasts of the present invention is used to effectively isolate and purify odontoblasts, which can be useful for tissue regeneration and differentiation.

  • Patent number: 11473169
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for recovering metals using an adsorbent, which comprises preparing a leachate comprising metal ions and cyanides, wherein the metal ions comprise gold ions and copper ions; and in a state where the leachate has a cyanide (CN) concentration of 0.1 ppm or greater, adding to the leachate an adsorbent, which has an open circuit potential value between the open circuit potential value of the gold ions and that of the copper ions; and selectively adsorbing the copper ions to the adsorbent.

  • Patent number: 9670480
    Abstract: A method comprising transforming Schizosaccharomyces pombe with a deletion cassette, constructed by four-round serial PCR, block PCR or total gene synthesis, containing a homologous recombination site is provided for preparing gene-targeted heterozygous deletion Schizosaccharomyces pombe. Also provided are gene-targeted hetero2ygous deletion Schizosaccharomyces pombe mutants prepared by the method, and a library of gene-targeted heterozygous deletion Schizosaccharomyces pombe mutants. Further, the library is useful in constructing a method and a kit for screening a drug's modes of action.
