  • 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.

  • Patent number: 11929446
    Abstract: Provided is a preparation method of a detector material. The present disclosure epitaxially grows a buffer layer on a surface of a gallium arsenide substrate, deposits a silicon dioxide layer on the buffer layer, and etches the silicon dioxide layer on the buffer layer according to a strip pattern by photolithography and etching to form strip growth regions with continuous changes in width. Finally, a molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) technology is used to epitaxially grow the detector material in the strip growth regions under set epitaxy growth conditions. Because of the same mobility of atoms arriving at the surface of the substrate, numbers of atoms migrating to the strip growth regions are different due to different widths of the strip growth regions, such that compositions of the material change with the widths of the strip growth regions or a layer thickness changes with the widths of the strip growth regions.
