Patent number: 11965902Abstract: When washing the inside of a reactor vessel which is used repeatedly, a rough suction is performed before suctioning with a washing tip; however, unwanted washing liquid may remain that may affect analysis results. The present invention provides an automatic analysis device for analyzing a sample using light, in which the automatic analysis device is characterized in that: a washing mechanism comprises a washing liquid supply nozzle that supplies washing liquid to a reactor vessel after analysis, a washing liquid suction nozzle that suctions the supplied washing liquid, a washing tip provided to the bottom end of the washing liquid suction nozzle, and a rough suction nozzle that suctions, in advance, a liquid within the reactor vessel before suctioning with the washing tip; and after the rough suction, liquid is caused to remain so that the bottom surface of the reactor vessel is not exposed.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 2019Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: HITACHI HIGH-TECH CORPORATIONInventors: Kei Shioya, Hiroki Akase, Rei Konishi, Masaaki Sakaguchi

Publication number: 20240124571Abstract: Provided is a substance capable of effectively suppressing cancer metastasis or a pharmaceutical composition that effectively acts on an inflammatory disease. The pharmaceutical composition is a pharmaceutical composition containing, as an active ingredient, an antibody or an antibody fragment thereof having antigen-binding activity for an S100A8/A9 heterodimer, and blocks interaction between S100A8/A9 and a group of receptors therefor, to thereby strongly suppress cancer metastasis both in vitro and in vivo, or alleviate inflammation. That is, the anti-S100A8/A9 antibody or the antibody fragment thereof can strongly suppress cancer metastasis or alleviate inflammation, by virtue of its blocking action on the interaction between S100A8/A9 and the group of receptors therefor.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 17, 2023Publication date: April 18, 2024Applicant: National University Corporation Okayama UniversityInventors: Masakiyo SAKAGUCHI, Shinichi TOYOOKA, Shuta TOMIDA, Kazuhiko SHIEN, Hiroki SATO, Rie KINOSHITA, Junichiro FUTAMI, Kota ARAKI, Mikio OKAZAKI, Eisaku KONDO, Yusuke INOUE, Akira YAMAUCHI
