Abstract: A method has been developed to efficiently proliferate and culture a CTL specific to WT1 peptides under limiting dilution conditions. Utilizing this method, CTLs capable of recognizing both a state where a wildtype WT1 specific peptide is presented by HLA-A*24:02 and a state where a mutant WT1 specific peptide is presented by HLA-A*24:02 have been successfully obtained.

Abstract: [PROBLEMS] To provide examination methods and reagents able to detect efficiently cancer patients and patients at high risk of cancer. [MEANS FOR SOLVING PROBLEMS] Significant differences in the distribution of GlcNAc-6-sulfotransferase isozymes, sulfation enzymes of sugar residues, between non-carcinoma tissues and carcinoma tissues or adenoma tissues were discovered. The discovery is evidently applicable to detect carcinomas and adenomas (except colorectal carcinomas and colorectal adenomas) specifically by assaying a certain range of GlcNAc-6-sulfated sugar residue groups in tissues of patients and in fecal samples. Examination of carcinomas and adenomas is possible by the use of antibodies reacting specifically with GlcNAc-6-sulfated sugar residues specifically synthesized by enzymes present in carcinoma and adenoma tissues.

Abstract: A method for forming a desired textile printing pattern by allowing a fiber sheet to absorb a dye ink by the use of, for example, the ink-jet system, which comprises allowing a pre-treating fluid containing an aqueous emulsion having a solid component comprising an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer and a vinyl acetate-acrylic monomer copolymer and a fixing agent for the dye to soak into the fiber sheet, followed by drying, and then subjecting the resulting fiber sheet to a textile printing with the dye ink.

Abstract: A water-based coloring composition and a water-based coating composition with each of which the number of operation steps in dyeing, printing, painting, coating or the like can be significantly reduced. The compositions enable functional compounds to be satisfactorily fixed to the substrate to be processed, and attain satisfactory fastness. The compositions do not impair the feeling of the substrate. The water-based coating composition is obtained by mixing an aqueous-emulsion-type acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive with a cationic water-soluble polymer. The coloring composition, which is for use in dyeing, printing, painting, or coating, is obtained by mixing an aqueous-emulsion-type acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive with a cationic water-soluble polymer and then mixing the mixture with functional compounds such as a dye, pigment, drug, deodorant, perfume, etc.

Abstract: An ink-accepting layer forming material is disclosed which is applied in advance to an ink-accepting surface of an object that is to be colored with an ink containing an anionic coloring material. The ink-accepting layer forming material comprises a weak acidic acrylic aqueous emulsion adhesive obtained by copolymerizing one or more (meth)acrylates having an alkyl group with 4-12 carbon atoms and a vinyl monomer, a water-soluble cationic polymer, and an aqueous medium. The acrylic aqueous emulsion adhesive has a viscosity of 4,000-20,000 mPa.s/30° C. when it is in an emulsion state with about 50% solid content, and a dried film of the acrylic aqueous emulsion adhesive has a glass transition temperature within the range from ?10 to ?50° C.

Abstract: A multilayer sheet structure (10) comprises a front sheet (11), a net-like backing sheet (12), and sewing threads (14) for partially joining the front sheet with the backing sheet so as to form bag portions (13) between the front and backing sheets. Paddings (15) such as cotton, wool or the like can be stuffed through net clearances of the backing sheet into bag portions surrounded with sewing threads to form bulges (11b) at desired locations on the front surface of the front sheet. Thus, a quilted multilayer sheet structure (17) having bulges on the front surface thereof can be easily produced.

Abstract: After an aqueous emulsion of a non-tacky or weakly tacky acrylic copolymer 4 has been infiltrate into a moisture-permeable sheet material 2 throughout almost the entire range in its thickness direction, the sheet material is dried while keeping one side of the sheet material in close contact with a non-moisture-absorptive protection sheet 3 having a smooth surface. Then a transparent coating film 8 having a smooth surface and consisting of the dried non-tacky or weakly tacky acrylic copolymer 4 is formed on the one side of the sheet material by stripping the protection sheet from the one side of the sheet material.
