  • Patent number: 8388937
    Abstract: A specific targeting peptide binding to glypican-3 can specifically binds to glypican-3 overexpressed in carcinoma cells and includes an amino acid sequence represented by SEQ ID NO:1 or some thereof. Glypican-3 is overexpressed in malignant tumors including hepatocellular carcinoma, melanoma, germ cell tumor, etc., and may be targeted in diagnosis and treatment of tumors by labeling the targeting peptide. A diagnosis using the specific peptide may detect even small tumors more accurately than conventional methods. A treatment method using the specific peptide may remove only carcinoma cells without harming other normal tissues.

  • Patent number: 8221703
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a device for collecting a sample, which is intended to dispense a received sample onto a measurement strip. The device includes a main body and a pair of receiving pieces. The receiving pieces protrude from a first end of the main body in such a way as to be spaced apart from each other while facing each other, and receive the sample by capillary force acting on a space which is defined between the receiving pieces and which is open on right, left and bottom sides. The device allows the received sample to be easily transferred to a reaction zone of a measurement strip, and enables the sample to be completely absorbed by the reaction zone because of capillary force in a receiving area when the device comes into contact with the reaction zone of the strip.
