Publication number: 20240084442Abstract: Disclosed is a molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) thin film growth apparatus. The MBE thin film growth apparatus includes a growth chamber which is connected to a vacuum pump and of which an inside is maintained in an ultra-high vacuum state, a substrate manipulator which is provided inside the growth chamber and on which a substrate is mounted, a load-lock chamber which is provided outside the growth chamber and communicates with the growth chamber and in which at least one substrate, which is mounted on the substrate manipulator, for growing a thin film is located, and a substrate transfer rod that transfers the substrate from the load-lock chamber to the growth chamber or from the growth chamber to the load-lock chamber, wherein the load-lock chamber is disposed to face the substrate manipulator and disposed collinear with a substrate transfer path of the substrate transfer rod.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 29, 2021Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: Eun Jung PARK, Sun Lae CHO, Eun Ji PARK

Patent number: 9200058Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2011Date of Patent: December 1, 2015Assignees: Korea Research Institute of Bioscience and Biotechnology, Industry-Academic Cooperation Foundation, the Catholic University of KoreaInventors: Young Woo Park, Ki Won Jo, Srok Ho Yoo, Jung Yu, Sun-Ha Yoon, Ji Hyun Park, Eun Jung Song, Jong-Ho Lee, Min Ji Seo, Sun Jung Cho, Mi La Cho, Ho Youn Kim, Mi Kyung Park, Hye Jwa Oh, Jin Sil Park, Yun Ju Woo, Jae Kyeong Byun, Jun Geol Ryu

Publication number: 20140186357Abstract: A treatment method for degenerative brain disorders using a pharmaceutically effective dose of the inhibitor of SUMO1 (small ubiquitin-like modifier 1) and BACE1 (?-secretase) interaction, or the inhibitor of SUMO1 expression or activation is provided. More specifically, it was confirmed that SUMO1 increased BACE1 accumulation and A? generation, that is SUMO1 regulated BACE1 accumulation by interacting with BACE1, and BACE1 dileucine motif was involved in SUMO1-mediated BACE1 accumulation. In addition, SUMO1 protein induced autophagy in H4 cells, while SUMO1 depletion reduced LC3-II level. It was further confirmed that SUMO1 and LC3 were co-localized in the cortex of APP transgenic mice. As shown herein, a pharmaceutically effective dose of the inhibitor of SUMO1 and BACE1 interaction or the inhibitor of SUMO1 expression can be effectively used for the treatment of degenerative brain disorders.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 9, 2013Publication date: July 3, 2014Applicant: KOREA CENTER FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTIONInventors: Young Ho Koh, Sang Moon Yun, Sun-Jung Cho, Chulman Jo, Sangmee Ahn, Jae Chun Song, Sung Yeon Song

Patent number: 8486905Abstract: Provided are a composition for diagnosing cancer or screening an anticancer drug comprising an FLJ25416 gene or an antibody directed to a protein expressed from the FLJ25416 gene, a composition for treating cancer comprising an inhibitor of the gene or an inhibitor of the protein expressed from the gene and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, and a kit for diagnosing cancer comprising at least one of the FLJ25416 gene and the protein expressed from the FLJ25416 gene. The FLJ25416 gene is expressed at high level in specific cancer cells, and induces an increase in proliferation rate of normal cells. The expression of the gene is suppressed, which results in an inhibitory effect on cancer cell growth. Thus, the FLJ25416 gene can be used as a target gene for diagnosis or treatment of cancer.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 2008Date of Patent: July 16, 2013Assignees: Korea Research Institute of Bioscience and Biotechnology, St. Pharm Co., Ltd.Inventors: Misun Won, Kyung-Sook Chung, Young-Joo Kim, Shin-Jung Choi, Young Il Yeom, Seon-Young Kim, Kyung Bin Song, Hee Gu Lee, Eun Young Song, Young Ho Kim, Ho Kyung Chun, Chae-Ok Yun, Moon Hee Kim, Kyeong-Eun Jung, Sun-Jung Cho
