Patent number: 11013803Abstract: It is shown that CD25-targeted near-infrared photo-immunotherapy causes a unique, rapid and spatially selective depletion of Tregs leading to regression of the treated tumor and inducing systemic immunologic responses in untreated tumors. Based on these observations, provided are compositions and methods of killing immune suppressor cells, for example to treat cancer. Reducing the number of suppressor cells in a subject can remove suppression of effector T cells, for example, to treat cancer using the subject's own immune system. In particular examples, the method includes contacting suppressor cells having a suppressor cell surface protein with an antibody-IR700 molecule, wherein the antibody specifically binds to the suppressor cell surface protein, and in some examples the antibody does not have a functional Fc region. The cell is subsequently irradiated, such as at a wavelength of 660 to 740 nm, for example at a dose of at least 4 J cm?2.Type: GrantFiled: August 2, 2016Date of Patent: May 25, 2021Assignee: The United States of America, as represented by the Secretary, Department of Health and Human ServicesInventors: Hisataka Kobayashi, Peter Choyke, Kazuhide Sato, Noriko Sato

Patent number: 10974527Abstract: An inkjet printing apparatus includes a print head configured to perform print operation, the print head having an ejection opening surface on which a plurality of ejection openings for ejecting ink are arrayed along an array direction, and a moving unit configured to move the print head between a printing position, at which the print operation is performed, and a standby position, at which the print operation is not performed. The moving unit moves the print head between the printing position and the standby position by performing rotational movement, in which the print head is rotated around a rotation axis that is parallel to the array direction, and linear movement, in which the print head is moved linearly.Type: GrantFiled: August 20, 2019Date of Patent: April 13, 2021Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Tetsuyo Ohashi, Yasuyuki Takanaka, Tetsuya Ishikawa, Seiji Ogasawara, Noriko Sato, Akira Kida, Noboru Shimoyama
