Publication number: 20150038363Abstract: An object of the present invention is to stimulate a T cell without using a peptide/MHC tetramer. In the present invention, the step of supplying an antigen peptide to a T cell having a T cell receptor (TCR) that can recognize the antigen peptide on cell surface to form a complex of a major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecule on the cell surface of the T cell and the antigen peptide is used, and the T cell is stimulated through recognition by TCR of the antigen peptide as the MHC molecule-antigen peptide complex on the cell surface of the same T cell. Such a stimulating and activating method would be applicable to not only T cells, but also various cells. According to the present invention, an antigen-specific T cell can be identified without establishing any antigen-specific T cell strain, and without using such a reagent as MHC/peptide tetramer. That is, a cancer-specific T cell can be efficiently and conveniently identified.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 6, 2013Publication date: February 5, 2015Inventors: Hiroyuki Kishi, Atsushi Muraguchi, Hiroshi Hamana, Eiji Kobayashi, Tatsuhiko Ozawa

Patent number: 8665891Abstract: A gateway apparatus performs frame forwarding between an external device connected to a first bus and controllers connected to a second bus. Each controller outputs a response frame upon reception of a communication frame from the external device. The response frame has an address field in which a private address is set. The private address is uniquely assigned to each controller in a private network space defined by the second bus. When the communication frame is directed to each controller, the communication frame is forwarded to each controller in sequence at different times to prevent collision between the response frames in the second bus. The private address set in the address field of the response frame is converted into a predetermined transmitting address specified in the first bus.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 2012Date of Patent: March 4, 2014Assignee: Denso CorporationInventors: Fusayoshi Katou, Yuzo Harata, Takeshi Enosaki, Mitsuyoshi Natsume, Hiroyuki Kishi

Patent number: 8612338Abstract: A purchase information collecting method collecting reliable purchase information about any kind of commodity using a network. In the purchase information collecting method, a server apparatus is used, which communicates with a seller computer and a purchaser computer, and which stores received sales information in the first storing part when the sales information identifies a deal about a commodity and is generated and transmitted by the seller computer. The server apparatus, when receiving purchase information, which consists of personal information of a purchaser of a commodity and the sales information that is presented to the purchaser by a seller of the commodity, judges whether the sales information included in the received purchase information is stored in the first storing part. If the sales information is stored, the server apparatus stores the received purchase information as valid purchase information in the second storing part.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 2001Date of Patent: December 17, 2013Assignee: Fujitsu LimitedInventor: Hiroyuki Kishi
