Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide an anti-CLDN4/anti-CD137 bispecific antibody usable in treatment of cancer. An anti-CLDN4/anti-CD137 bispecific antibody produced using an anti-CLDN4 antibody binding to CLDN4 and an anti-CD137 antibody binding to CD137 had agonistic activity for CD137, promoted production of interferon ? by a T cell, and exhibited cytotoxic activity against a cancer cell expressing CLDN4 on a cell surface thereof. Besides, it was shown that the anti-CLDN4/anti-CD137 bispecific antibody can be safely administered to monkeys. Therefore, the anti-CLDN4/anti-CD137 bispecific antibody is usable in treatment of human cancer.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a pharmaceutical composition for treating brain cancer containing an aldehyde inhibitor and an anticancer drug. Since there are many types of brain cancer and the boundary between brain cells and tumor cells in brain cancer is not clear, brain cancer is particularly difficult to treat. The pharmaceutical composition of the present disclosure may further contain a biguanide-based compound as needed, wherein the compound is preferably phenformin. The pharmaceutical composition of the present disclosure is very effective for the treatment and improvement of prognosis of brain cancer, and has remarkable effects of killing cancer cells and inhibiting cancer stem cell characteristics, compared to when each of the active ingredients is administered alone. Thus, it is expected that the pharmaceutical composition of the present disclosure will be widely used in the field of brain cancer treatment.

Abstract: An objective of the present invention is to provide an anti-TSPAN8/anti-CD3 bispecific antibody and an anti-TSPAN8 antibody usable in treatment or prevention in human. A human monoclonal antibody producing mouse was immunized with a peritoneal disseminated cancer cell isolated from a patient, to obtain an antibody 16B11 and an antibody 16B12 that selectively bind to a peritoneal disseminated cancer cell. These antibodies were anti-TSPAN8 antibodies that bind to the region from amino acid positions 126 to 155 of TSPAN8 and exhibited strong binding activity to TSPAN8 expressed in the peritoneal disseminated cancer cell. Further, an anti-TSPAN8(16B11)-anti-CD3 bispecific antibody produced based on the sequence of 16B11 exhibited a cytotoxic activity against the TSPAN8-expressing cancer cell in vitro, exerted an anti-tumor action on TSPAN8-expressing cancer cell-bearing mice in vivo, and extended the lifetime of peritoneal dissemination model mice.

Abstract: Provided is a conjugate for photodynamic diagnosis or treatment in which a peptide binds with a photosensitizer via an intracellularly degradable linkage, and a composition for photodynamic diagnosis or treatment including the same. The conjugate generates no fluorescent signal and reactive oxygen in normal tissues or during the circulation in the blood by quenching a fluorescent signal and reactive oxygen generation ability of the photosensitizer. After the conjugate is selectively absorbed into target cells, a linker is degraded in cells to increase the distance between tryptophan included in the peptide and the photosensitizer, and the quenching action is terminated to generate a strong fluorescence signal and induce active generation of reactive oxygen. The conjugate has high tissue permeability, shows a high photodynamic therapeutic effect in only target cells while being safe in normal cells, and can obtain a good diagnostic image having a high ratio of target signal to background.

Abstract: A processor receives an input of finding information indicating at least one finding, which is desired to be searched for, on a query base image, which includes a part desired to be searched for and is a source of a query image, to derive the query image to which the finding has been added, derives at least one added finding feature amount indicating an image feature for the added finding, and derives a query normal feature amount indicating an image feature for a normal region included in the part in the query base image. The processor derives similarities between the query image and a plurality of reference images including findings on the basis of comparisons between the added finding feature amount and the query normal feature amount and the like with reference to an image database in which the plurality of reference images have been registered and extracts the reference image that is similar to the query image as a similar image from the image database on the basis of the similarities.
