  • Patent number: 11988606
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method and apparatus for biomolecular multiplexed imaging through the iterative unmixing of fluorophores. According to the first embodiments of the present disclosure, although signals of two fluorophores are detected in the first fluorescent detection spectral range, the signals of the two images obtained from two detection spectral ranges can be unmixed through the iterative minimization of mutual information. Furthermore, the present disclosure provides a multi-color unmixing method and apparatus through the iterative minimization of mutual information. In the second embodiments of the present disclosure, a plurality of images of a plurality of fluorophores marking different biomolecules, respectively, for example, N fluorophores are obtained. Images, each containing the signals of single fluorophore can be obtained from the obtained images while minimizing the mutual information shared by images of each of pairs each consisting of two of the obtained images.

  • Patent number: 11987797
    Abstract: The present disclosure belongs to the technical field of biology, and in particular relates to an attenuated strain of African swine fever virus (ASFV) with IPTG-induced deletion of a D1133L gene and use thereof. In the present disclosure, it is firstly found that the D1133L protein of ASFV can inhibit production of IFN-? and downstream cytokines ISG-15 and ISG-56, and can be used as an immunosuppressant with a relatively strong immunosuppressive effect. In addition, the attenuated strain of ASFV with IPTG-induced deletion of the D1133L gene is constructed. Specifically, a screening expression cassette is inserted into a position before the non-structural protein gene D1133L of the ASFV using an Escherichia coli lac operator-repressor system, to obtain a recombinant virus. In the presence of the IPTG, the recombinant virus has similar characteristics to a wild-type virus; and in the absence of the IPTG, the expression of the D1133L protein is inhibited.

  • Patent number: 11991655
    Abstract: A base station in a wireless communication system is disclosed. Each base station in the wireless communication comprises: a communication module; and a processor. When the processor attempts to transmit a synchronization signal and PBCH block (SSB) at a SSB transmission candidate position in a discovery reference signal (DRS) transmission window, and fails to transmit an SSB at a first SSB transmission candidate location in a first DRS transmission window, the processor is configured to attempt to transmit the SSB at a second SSB transmission candidate position that is later than the first SSB transmission candidate position in the first DRS transmission window. The DRS transmission window is a time interval in which the base station can transmit the SSB. The SSB transmission candidate position indicates a time point at which the base station can start SSB transmission within the DRS transmission window.
