  • Publication number: 20230298700
    Abstract: A viral mutation prediction device has an acquisition unit which acquires gene sequence data of a genome of a virus, an extraction unit which extracts C (cytosine) or G (guanine) from the acquired gene sequence data of the genome and extracts contexts in which a mutation from C or G to U (uracil) occurs or has occurred, a separation unit which checks whether there is an amino acid mutation when C or G has changed to U and which separates sequences with the amino acid mutation as nonsynonymous substitutions and separates sequences without the amino acid mutation as synonymous substitutions, a learning unit which learns using the sequence data of the synonymous substitutions for learning data and a prediction unit which predicts a mutation of the virus using the learned results.

  • Publication number: 20210041435
    Abstract: Provided is a method for treating and diagnosing an autoimmune disease, organ transplant rejection and allergic disease by using a method of regulating antigen-specific MHC expression. An agent for decreasing T-cell function for suppressing an autoimmune disease, organ transplant rejection or allergic disease, having a T-cell receptor or chimeric protein being a fusion protein of a T-cell receptor variable region recognizing a complex of an autoimmune disease-specific antigen and an MHC molecule, a complex of a specific antigen causing an organ transplant rejection and an MHC molecule, or a complex of an allergic disease-specific antigen and an MHC molecule and an immunoglobulin Fc region, as an active ingredient; and regulating expression of the MHC molecule.
