  • Patent number: 11286296
    Abstract: The present invention provides: an antibody which specifically bonds to human NINJ-1; and a fragment thereof. The antibody or the fragment thereof according to the present invention has very high bonding affinity and bonding specificity with respect to a human NINJ-1 or a homogeneous binding site of the protein, and does not exhibit cross-reactivity with NINJ-1 proteins that are derived from other organisms and have high protein similarity. Accordingly, the present invention provides significant advantages with respect to accuracy and sensitivity and the like, not only in diagnosing disease related to NINJ-1 proteins but also in inhibiting pathological conditions involving NINJ-1 proteins. In particular, the antibody provided according to the present invention has a remarkable effect of inhibiting attachment between immunocytes and human cerebral endothelial cells, and thus has an effect of treating multiple sclerosis.

  • Patent number: 11111536
    Abstract: The present application relates to a detection kit for genotypes capable of confirming cross contamination that may occur in a banking process of a patient-derived xenograft model or cell-derived xenograft model and a method for determining cross contamination using the same. According to the present disclosure, it is possible to determine all of cross contamination of mouse related genes, have high detection sensitivity and specificity to be close to 100%, rapidly examine the contamination, and be very useful in predicting mouse contamination. Therefore, according to the present disclosure, cross contamination of genes related with the human and the mouse is predicted in advance to be applied to evaluation of anticancer drug efficacy using a patient-derived xenograft model or cell-derived xenograft model and contribute to cell banks using the patient-derived xenograft model or cell-derived xenograft model, and as a result, the present disclosure is very useful in a medical industry.

  • Patent number: 11107552
    Abstract: Disclosed are data processing and analysis methods for gene expression data for identifying endogenous reference genes and a composition for the quantitative analysis of gene expression, comprising a pair of primers and/or probes useful in amplifying the identified endogenous reference genes. Introduced with the concepts of “Zero's proportion” and CV, the method allows different datasets to be integrally analyzed, thereby searching for novel reference genes. By the method, 2,087 genes are first found as housekeeping genes which are expressed in most tissues, and the usefulness thereof in the relative quantification of different target genes is determined by analyzing their expression stability. Of the 2,087 genes, 13 genes show higher expression stability with lower expression levels across a wide range of samples than traditional reference genes such as GAPDH and ACTS, and therefore are suitable for the normalization of universal genes having relatively low expression levels.
