  • Publication number: 20130022642
    Abstract: The present invention relates to TNFR2-IL21R fusion protein acting as a double-antagonist to TNF-alpha (?) and IL-21. The composition containing the double antagonist to TNF-? and Il-21 (TNFR2-IL21R fusion protein), known as major causes of autoimmune rheumatoid arthritis, one of autoimmune diseases, can reduce the secretion of inflammatory cytokine, increase the secretion of anti-inflammatory cytokine, and suppress the differentiation of osteoclasts better than single proteins such as TNFR2-Fc and IL21R-Fc. The TNFR2-IL21R fusion protein of the present invention has not only excellent treatment effect on arthritis in CIA mouse model not also excellent treatment effect on autoimmune rheumatoid arthritis by increasing the expression of Treg, the immune suppressive cells. Therefore, the TNFR2-IL21R fusion protein of the present invention can be effectively used as an active ingredient for the composition for the prevention and treatment of autoimmune disease.

  • Publication number: 20120264015
    Abstract: An anode active material for a lithium secondary battery and a lithium secondary battery having the same are disclosed. The anode active material for a lithium secondary battery includes a silicon alloy consisting of silicon and at least two kinds of metals other than silicon, each having the heat of mixing with the silicon of ?23 kJ/mol or less. The anode active material for a lithium secondary battery has a high capacity, and thus, is useful in fabricating a high-capacity lithium secondary battery. Also, the anode active material for a lithium secondary battery has a small crystal size of a silicon phase and consequently a small change in volume during charging/discharging, and thus, ensures excellent cycle life characteristics in applications to batteries.
