  • Patent number: 8715670
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a human monoclonal antibody that specifically binds to VCAM-1, and a therapeutic composition for the treatment of inflammatory disease or cancer comprising the same. The human monoclonal antibody according to the present invention shows a strong affinity to VCAM-1 expressed on human or mouse endothelial cell, effectively inhibits leukocyte adhesion to activated endothelial cells expressing VCAM-1, and shows a low immunogenicity, thereby being used for the treatment of cancer or inflammatory disease such as asthma, rhinitis, arthritis, multiple sclerosis, bowel disease, arteriosclerosis, myocardial infarction and transplant rejection.

  • Patent number: 8501175
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a transmembrane protease, serine (TMPRSS4)-specific human antibody, and more particularly to a human antibody including a complementarity determining region (CDR) and a framework region (FR) derived from a human antibody specifically bound to TMPRSS4. The TMPRSS4-specific human antibody expressed in the various kinds of cancer cells of the present invention may be used in diagnosis of the cancer, classification of the disease, visualization, treatment, and prognostic evaluation.

  • Publication number: 20120156150
    Abstract: Disclosed is a composition for whitening skin or improving skin wrinkles comprising black tea extract as an active ingredient. In a cell experiment for Melan-a cells and an animal experiment using the brown guinea pig model with artificial tanning spots induced by UVB, the black tea extract of the present disclosure greatly inhibited melanin synthesis. Also, in an experiment on SKH-1 hairless mouse, it remarkably inhibited wrinkle formation. Accordingly, the composition of the present disclosure can be developed as a skin whitening agent, an anti-wrinkle agent or a medicine for treating diseases associated with melanin hyperpigmentation, e.g. liver spots, freckles, senile spots or solar lentigo.

  • Patent number: 8197809
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a CD9-specific human antibody, more precisely a CD9-specific human antibody composed of human derived CD9-specific complementarity determining region (CDR) and framework region (FR). The human antibody of the present invention recognizes CD9 extracellular loop 2 domain (CD9-ECL2) as an epitope and thereby strongly binding thereto. The human antibody of the present invention also has CD9 antigen neutralizing effect and at the same time inhibiting effect on tumor cell lines. Therefore, it can be effectively used for the prevention and treatment of cancer overexpressing CD9.
