Patent number: 11492433Abstract: The hydrogel includes a first network structure and a second network structure. The second network structure is entwined with the first network structure. The first network structure contains a polymer crosslinked with a first crosslinking agent. The second network structure contains a polymer crosslinked with a second crosslinking agent. 50 mol % or more of the first crosslinking agent does not contain a decomposable bond. 50 mol % or more of the second crosslinking agent does not contain a decomposable bond.Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 2019Date of Patent: November 8, 2022Assignees: NGK SPARK PLUG CO., LTD., NATIONAL UNIVERSITY CORPORATION HOKKAIDO UNIVERSITYInventors: Masaya Iwata, Shinjiro Kasahara, Jian Ping Gong, Takayuki Kurokawa, Takayuki Nonoyama

Publication number: 20220119498Abstract: To provide an immunoglobulin purification method which achieves a high immunoglobulin recovery percentage without causing loss of the antibody nature of an immunoglobulin. The immunoglobulin purification method includes an adsorption step and a desorption step. The adsorption step involves adsorption of an immunoglobulin onto porous zirconia particles in a neutral buffer. The desorption step involves desorption of the immunoglobulin adsorbed on the porous zirconia particles from the porous zirconia particles by means of a neutral desorption liquid.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 17, 2020Publication date: April 21, 2022Applicants: NGK Spark Plug Co., LTD., NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF ADVANCED INDUSTRIAL SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGYInventors: Katsuya KATO, Fukue NAGATA, Shinjiro KASAHARA, Yuki HIROBE, Jun OTSUKA

Publication number: 20220089453Abstract: Porous zirconia particles exhibit high specificity to a protein to be immobilized thereto and are used in immobilization of the protein. The porous zirconia particles have a pore diameter D50, at which a ratio of a cumulative pore volume to a total pore volume is 50%, the pore diameter D50 being in a range of 3.20 nm or more and 6.50 nm or less; and a pore diameter D90, at which a ratio of a cumulative pore volume to a total pore volume is 90%, the pore diameter D90 being in a range of 10.50 nm or more and 100.00 nm or less. The total pore volume of the particles is greater than 0.10 cm3/g. D50, D90, and the total pore volume are determined based on a pore diameter distribution measured through a BET method.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 17, 2020Publication date: March 24, 2022Applicants: NGK Spark Plug Co., LTD., NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF ADVANCED INDUSTRIAL SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGYInventors: Katsuya KATO, Fukue NAGATA, Shinjiro KASAHARA, Jun OTSUKA, Yuki HIROBE

Patent number: 10238774Abstract: Provided is a biological implant which exhibits high binding ability to a biological tissue after having been embedded in a living organism, which secures an appropriate strength depending on a site to which the implant is applied, and in which a micropore structural portion is less likely to be removed from a macropore structural portion. The biological implant includes a macropore structural portion which defines macropores of the biological implant, and a micropore structural portion which has micropores therein, the micropores having a pore size smaller than that of the macropores, the biological implant being characterized in that the macropore structural portion has substantially no pores therein; the micropore structural portion is provided on the surface of the macropore structural portion; the macropore structural portion and the micropore structural portion are formed of the same engineering plastic material; and the macropore structural portion is formed of a single material.Type: GrantFiled: September 3, 2014Date of Patent: March 26, 2019Assignee: NGK SPARK PLUG CO., LTD.Inventors: Shinjiro Kasahara, Masaya Iwata, Takenori Sawamura

Patent number: 9931438Abstract: The objection of this invention is to provide an article with a foamed surface having a porous structure in the surface of a plastic base, an implant and a method of producing them. The article has a body and a superficial layer formed in a surface of the body, the layer including small-diameter and large-diameter pores, wherein part of the small-diameter and large-diameter pores are open pores which are open at the surface of the layer; the open pores have small open pores with an average diameter of 5 ?m or less and large open pores with an average diameter from 10 to 200 ?m; and the large open pores have an inner wall with passages connected with the small-diameter large-diameter pores. The implant is the article itself or the article with a bioactive substance in the layer thereof. The method provides an example of producing the article and implant.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2008Date of Patent: April 3, 2018Assignee: NGK SPARK PLUG CO., LTD.Inventors: Shinjiro Kasahara, Takenori Sawamura
