  • Publication number: 20230203443
    Abstract: A cell genetically engineered for activating natural killer (NK) cells. The genetically engineered cell for activating NK cells synergistically induces the proliferation and activation of NK cells in a sample, thereby producing effects that can be usefully utilized in a method of proliferating NK cells, a method of measuring NK cells proliferated by the method, or an activation degree of NK cells, or a method of diagnosing an NK cell activity-related disease. A feeder cell for culturing a natural killer (NK) cell, genetically engineered to express membrane bound interleukin-18 (mbIL-18) and membrane bound interleukin-21 (mbIL-21).

  • Patent number: 11655306
    Abstract: A fusion protein for cancer treatment and a use thereof is disclosed. The fusion protein for preventing or treating cancer of the present invention includes a fusion polypeptide including: an antibody or fragment thereof binding to a tumor-associated antigen; a linker; and a NK cell-inducing protein of CXCL16, wherein a co-administration of the fusion polypeptide along with the NK cells, an immunocyte therapeutic agent, greatly increases an influx of the NK cells into cancer expressing a certain antigen, thereby having a remarkable effect on preventing or treating cancer.

  • Publication number: 20070091049
    Abstract: An electron emission display device and a control method thereof, which previously store variable voltage information according to a drive time and/or a size of frame data, and maintain current amount constant without measuring an electric current at the driving time of a real screen in order to prevent a degradation of a pixel are disclosed. A pixel portion includes a plurality of scan lines and a plurality of data lines, and an anode electrode is over an entire region of the pixel portion. A data driver transfers a data signal to the data lines. A scan driver sequentially transfers a scan signal to the scan lines. A power supply unit supplies a electric drive source to the data driver and the scan driver. A controller stores variable voltage information corresponding to a drive time and for maintaining an electric current flowing through the anode electrode constant based on the stored variable voltage information.

  • Publication number: 20070069991
    Abstract: An electron emission display capable of controlling brightness to correspond to the emission ratio of a pixel unit so as to improve contrast, prevent voltage overshoots and prevent excess power consumption. The electron emission display includes a pixel unit that displays an image that corresponds to the voltages of first and second electrodes, a data driver that receives video data and generates and transmits the data signals to the first electrode, a scan driver that transmits scan signals to the second electrode, a data processing unit that reduces the brightness of an image based on the emission ratio for the frame, and a power source supply unit that generates and outputs the driving power source. The power source supply unit changes the voltage of the driving power source from a first voltage into a second voltage in small increments when the difference between the second and the first voltage is large.

  • Publication number: 20060267507
    Abstract: To increase the brightness and/or the life-time of a display, an anode voltage signal may be controllably adjusted during operation of the display. The method may involve, receiving at least one of image signals and external control signals, determining an anode current value for anode current flowing through the anode electrode based on the received at least one of the image signals and the external control signals, comparing the determined anode current value with a reference current value and outputting a comparison result, and adjusting an anode voltage signal to be supplied to the anode electrode based on the comparison result.
