  • Patent number: 9315578
    Abstract: [Problem] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a bispecific antibody that is structurally stable, and can show alone a sufficient effect without the co-administration of activated lymphocyte (T-LAK). [Solution] The present invention is therefore related to a humanized highly functional bispecific antibody comprising humanized variable regions of the heavy chain (5H) and the light chain (5L) of an anti-human EGF receptor 1 antibody 528, and humanized variable regions of the heavy chain (OH) and the light chain (OL) of an anti-CD3 antibody OKT3; and having one of the following structures (i)-(vi) in Claim 1, wherein the 5H, 5L, OH and OL have an amino acid sequence represented by SEQ ID Nos 25, 26, 27 and 28, respectively.

  • Publication number: 20100243901
    Abstract: A pellet 4 for use in spectrometry includes a first powder 41 of a light transmitting material in a compression-molded form, and a second powder 42 which is hydrophilic and water-insoluble and is dispersedly mixed in the first powder. A sample 40 to be subjected to spectrometry is e.g. in a powdery form and dispersedly mixed in the first and the second powders 41 and 42. When the sample 40 is a hydrate, the second powder 42 exerts the effect of accelerating dehydration of the sample 40, so that stable spectrum data on the sample in the dehydrated state is obtained early. This makes it possible to perform a processing such as identification of the sample 40 early and precisely.

  • Publication number: 20100202955
    Abstract: A method is provided for producing a Si bulk polycrystal ingot with high quality and high homogeneity, which has no significant crystal defects and is free from diffused impurities with a high yield. An upper face of a Si melt is locally cooled by bringing coolant close to a surface of the Si melt from an upper part of a crucible in the crucible containing the Si melt or by inserting the coolant into the Si melt. A dendrite crystal is formed in the vicinity of the surface of the Si melt. Cooling is performed thereafter while maintaining a proper temperature distribution, and a Si bulk crystal is grown from an upper part toward a lower part using a lower face of the dendrite crystal as a fresh growth face.
