Abstract: Novel human immunoglobulin V.sub.H segments and DNA fragments containing the same are disclosed. The DNA fragment according to the present invention is the fragment having a size of about 800 kbp which is shown in FIG. 1. The human immunoglobulin V.sub.H segments according to the present invention are contained in the fragment of this DNA fragment of about 800 kbp, and there are 50 novel segments. The base sequences of these :segments are shown in the Sequence Listing. The present invention also provides DNA fragments which contain two or more of these V.sub.H segments.

Abstract: There is provided a process for efficient chromatographic separation of a plurality of components from a fluid feed containing the same, which process comprises repeating a cycle comprising the step (1) of substantially shutting off the internal fluid circulation at a position of endless, or continuous, circulatory system and withdrawing a fraction enriched with a component having a strong affinity for an adsorbent upstream of the shut-off position while feeding the fluid feed downstream of the shut-off position, and the step (2) of withdrawing a plurality of fractions enriched with the remaining components while feeding a fluid desorbent and circulating the internal fluid.

Abstract: A process for chromatographic fractional separation of a ternary or more fluid feed into at least three fractions according to a simulated moving bed procedure in a system wherein the simulated moving bed packed with an adsorbent is provided with a circulatory channel having a shutoff position where the circulation of the system can be shut off, comprises step (1) of feeding fresh fluid feed into the system on the downstream side of the shutoff position while withdrawing a fraction(s) of a component(s) having a medium affinity for the adsorbent from an adsorption zone(s) located upstream of the shutoff position, which step (1) is repeated alternately with step (2) of separately withdrawing fractions of components fractionated into respective adsorption zones remaining after the step (1) by feeding a fluid desorbent into the system with sequentially shifting the position of feeding the fluid desorbent and the positions of withdrawing enriched fractions, corresponding to the migration of the respective adsorpti

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method for the separation of a mixed glucose-fructose solution into glucose and fructose by using a strongly acidic cation exchange resin of alkaline earth metal type and, more particularly, such method for the separation of glucose and fructose wherein said mixed glucose-fructose solution and water are supplied to and circulated through a bed of said cation exchange resin at least twice for increasing the distance between a zone of adsorption for glucose and a zone of adsorption for fructose that are formed in this way in the bed and, after such preliminary procedure, the glucose fraction and the fructose fraction of the effluent liquid are removed spotwise from the system while the remaining effluent fractions are again circulated in the order of efflux; at this time, the mixed glucose-fructose solution is injected spotwise into a portion of the liquid flow where the fructose content ratio is approximately equal to or slightly lower than that of the mixed glucose-fructose liquid, and w

Abstract: This invention relates to a process for regenerating a strongly acidic cation exchange resin which has used for a desalting treatment or partition chromatographic separation of a sugar liquid which lowers its separation capability, by means of contacting said strongly acidic cation exchange resin with an enzyme solution.
