  • Publication number: 20240136846
    Abstract: The present technology discloses a three-phase and single-phase two-way charger. According to a specific example of the present invention, a battery charger having a single-stage structure for a combined use of single-phase and three-phase is implemented without an electrolytic capacitor which lowers the reliability and charging efficiency, to enable a compatible use of single-phase and three-phase external power sources, and to improve charging efficiency and the performance in a wide input/output voltage range by a reduced number of switching elements and a soft switching operation of the switching elements and thus improve the reliability and lifetime. A lightweight charger can be realized by integrating, into a core, at least two of an inductor for removing ripples of the battery charger, a primary side and a secondary side of a transformer, and an inductor for removing noise.

  • Publication number: 20240091355
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition, for prevention or treatment of cancer diseases, comprising CD8+ T cells activated by CD4+ T cell-derived extracellular vesicles as an active ingredient. It was found that the secretion of extracellular vesicles from cytokine-activated CD4+ T cells increases and the extracellular vesicles enhance proliferation and activity of CD8+ T cells to induce the death of cancer cells, thereby augmenting an anticancer effect. Thus, the present invention provides the CD8+ T cells activated by CD4+ T cell-derived extracellular vesicles as a pharmaceutical agent or an immunotherapeutic agent for cancer diseases, and a method for activating CD8+ T cells by using CD4+ T cell-derived extracellular vesicles to prepare CD8+ T cells showing excellent anticancer activity as described above.

  • Publication number: 20240082358
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition containing IL-2 or an expression promoter or activator thereof as an active ingredient for prevention or treatment of cancer disease. In the present invention, it was discovered that when treating cancer cells with IL-2, an anticancer effect was enhanced by inhibiting the secretion of cancer cell-derived exosomes and the expression of PD-L1 inducing immune escape of T cells. IL-2 was also discovered to effectuate the anticancer effect directly on cancer cells compared to conventional techniques exhibiting an immune anticancer effect by activating cytotoxic T cells. Thus, IL-2 or an expression promoter or activator thereof can be advantageously used in a composition for prevention or treatment of cancer diseases.
