  • Patent number: 11918634
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a cancer-specific tumor antigen neoepitope represented by any one of SEQ ID NOs: 1 to 184, an antigen-presenting cell loaded with the neoepitope, and a method for activating T cells for cancer treatment using the antigen-presenting cell. An antigen-presenting cell, that is, a dendritic cell, loaded with a cancer-specific tumor antigen epitope provided in the present invention enables rapid and effective induction of differentiation and proliferation of cancer antigen-specific T cells, preferably memory T cells, and the memory T cells thus activated can treat a cancerous or neoplastic condition or prevent recurrence, progression, or metastasis of cancer while avoiding the defense mechanism of cancer cells.

  • Patent number: 11890364
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition for prevention or treatment of hair loss. The composition is effectively delivered into hair papilla cells in a hair loss area, which is a target area, wherein a cytokine or enzyme highly expressed in the hair loss area causes a drug to be separated from a compound contained in the composition so that the drug effectively exhibits activity, which ultimately promotes hair growth and/or hair regrowth.

  • Patent number: 11820801
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a fusion protein comprising an extracellular domain of leucine-rich and immunoglobulin-like domains-1 (Lrig-1) protein and an immunoglobulin Fc region. The fusion protein provided in the present invention can interact with a ligand for Lrig-1 protein, which is present on effector T cells, to inhibit the interaction between the effector T cells and regulatory T cells (Treg cells) having the Lrig-1 protein on their surface, so that activity of the regulatory T cells is inhibited and activity of the effector T cells is maintained or elevated, thereby effectively inhibiting growth of cancer cells, in particular, solid cancer cells.
