Abstract: A Factor X (hereinafter referred to as “FX”) with a high activity is provided. The present invention relates to a method for efficiently preparing a recombinant, two-chain FX which comprises intervening glycosylation at such an amino acid sequence that is essential for glycosylation in FX to thereby allow for expression of a recombinant FX with no glycosylation, and the recombinant FX with no glycosylation obtained by said method.

Abstract: A human antibody that has a specific reactivity with multiple tumor cell lines including ATL cells and possesses both safety and therapeutic efficacy and a fragment of said antibody are provided. A human antibody and a fragment of said antibody that may recognize HLA-DR ? chain expressed on the surface of tumor cells were obtained. In particular, it was found that a dimer of scFv (diabody) of said antibody may induce potent apoptosis in cells expressing the HLA-DR ? chain. The antibody and a fragment of said antibody obtained in accordance with the present invention are useful for a detection reagent, a diagnostic and a medicament for protection or treatment of cancers including ATL and/or viral infectious diseases.

Abstract: A human anti-amyloid ? peptide (hereinafter referred to as “A?”) antibody that binds to A? to thereby inhibit aggregation of A? molecules, and a fragment of said antibody are provided. The antibody and a fragment thereof according to the present invention, comprising a variable region of a human-derived anti-A? antibody, strongly reacts with A? to thereby inhibit its aggregation and hence may be used as a medicament for the prophylaxis and treatment of Alzheimer dementia.
