  • Publication number: 20240423520
    Abstract: A funnel for a small-format blood collection device and system according to embodiments described herein. The system may include a funnel having a first conical portion attached to a second cylindrical portion. At the confluence of these two portions is a shoulder having a raised exterior contour to match a contour of a mating small-format container. The mating of the contours of the shoulder and a matching topside of a small-format container provides for greater stability when utilizing the funnel during a blood collection procedure by way of capillary bleeding.

  • Patent number: 9695237
    Abstract: The present invention provides an anti-human FOLR1 antibody against diseases associated with human FOLR1-expressing cells, which specifically recognizes and binds to an amino acid sequence of human FOLR1 or a conformational structure thereof and also has a high effector activity such as antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity activity (ADCC activity). The present invention can provide a monoclonal antibody which specifically recognizes and binds to the amino acid sequence of human FOLR1 or the conformational structure thereof and also has ADCC activity and CDC activity, or an antibody fragment thereof, a DNA encoding the antibody, a vector comprising the DNA, a transformant obtained by introducing the vector, a method for producing the antibody or the antibody fragment thereof using the transformant, and a therapeutic agent and a diagnostic agent comprising the antibody or the antibody fragment as an active ingredient.
