Abstract: An apparatus for manufacturing a bagged electrode includes a conveying unit, a first bonding unit, a second bonding unit, and a separating unit. The conveying unit conveys an electrode in a manner interposed between a pair of long separator materials unwound from a pair of rolls. The first bonding unit bonds the pair of long separator materials outside the electrode along a conveyance direction without stopping conveyance of the electrode and the pair of long separator materials. The second bonding unit bonds the pair of long separator materials outside the electrode along a direction intersecting the conveyance direction without stopping conveyance of the electrode and the pair of long separator materials. The separating unit cuts the pair of long separator materials along the direction intersecting the conveyance direction to cut off the bagged electrode without stopping conveyance of the electrode and the pair of long separator materials.

Abstract: To solve the above-mentioned problems, the present inventors introduced site-specific mutations into sc(Fv)2 and examined the stabilizing effects on sc(Fv)2. As a result, they succeeded for the first time in significantly increasing the Tm value of sc(Fv)2 by amino acid substitutions. Furthermore, they discovered that sc(Fv)2 is stabilized by introducing site-specific mutations into sc(Fv)2.
