Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition in the form of a water-in-oil (W/O) emulsion comprising an oily phase and an aqueous phase, comprising: (a) at least one oil; (b) at least one organic lipophilic gelling agent; (c) at least one pigment coated with isopropyl titanium triisostearate; and (d) water; wherein the amount of the (b) lipophilic gelling agent is greater than 0% by weight and less than 5% by weight relative to the total weight of the composition, and the amount of the aqueous phase is at least 50% by weight relative to the total weight of the composition.

Abstract: The prevent invention provides an activated T cell in which the expression of an immune checkpoint molecule is suppressed, a method for producing the T cell, and a method for screening for a substance that can be used in the production of the T cell. Specifically, the prevent invention includes, as solving means, a method for producing or inducing a T cell in which the expression of an immune checkpoint molecule is not induced, the method comprising reducing or losing the function of UDP-glucose ceramide glucosyltransferase (UGCG) or ganglioside in a T cell, and a T cell produced or induced by the aforementioned method.

Abstract: An ornamental display capable of improving the three-dimensionality of an enlarged virtual image group is provided. In the ornamental display 1, an image element pattern 20 constituted by two-dimensionally arranging a plurality of image elements 21 on a back surface of a transparent material 10 such as an acrylic board using transparent ink, and a light collecting element pattern 30 constituted by two-dimensionally arranging a plurality of convex lens-shaped light collecting elements 31 on the surface of the transparent material 10 are formed. The ornamental display 1 is characterized in that the light collecting element pattern 30 is formed so that the array pitch of the adjacent light collecting elements 31 gradually and continuously changes, thereby displaying an enlarged image of image elements 21 above the transparent material 10 while gradually and continuously changing the height thereof, constituting a three-dimensional enlarged virtual image group Z1 having a curved surface as a whole.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods of testing for allergic diseases and methods for screening candidate compounds as therapeutic agents for allergic diseases. In particular the present invention provides genetic markers useful for the prediction of an individual's susceptibility to and/or the molecular diagnosis of atopic diseases such as bronchial asthma and allergic rhinitis.
