Abstract: Provided is a production method for reassortant influenza virus having genome segments of two or more kinds of influenza virus in the case where an antigenic strain and donor strain have similar antigenicities. The production method makes use of the first influenza virus containing an antigenic protein, the second influenza virus having an antigenic protein having antigenicity similar to that of the strain, and the third influenza virus having an antigenic protein having antigenicity different from that of the strain, and includes the steps of: coculturing the strain and the strain by infecting a host therewith, to produce reassortant influenza viruses; selecting influenza virus having the antigenic protein from the viruses; then coculturing the strain and the selected strain by infecting a host therewith; and selecting influenza virus having the antigenic protein from reassortant influenza viruses produced from the strain and the strain.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide an electro-deposited copper-alloy foil excellent in infrared laser processability which enables uniform etching rate along a thickness direction in following etching process. To achieve the object, an electro-deposited copper-alloy foil obtained from electrolyzing of an electrolytic solution, wherein the electro-deposited copper-alloy foil has tin content of 8% by mass to 25% by mass is employed. In the electro-deposited copper-alloy foil, a grain in a crystal structure is preferably a columnar grain longitudinal along a thickness direction.

Abstract: A vacuum heat insulator small in limitation in shape of applicable objects, and wide in application is presented. A vacuum heat insulator is formed of a plurality of core members of thickness of 5 mm or less made of glass fiber shaped nearly in a regular octagonal shape, being coated with a gas barrier enveloping member and evacuated in side. The core members are shaped in octagon, and disposed in lattice layout at specified intervals so as to form folding lines in four directions of vertical, lateral and oblique 45-degree directions, parallel to each side. In order that the plurality of core members may be located in independent spaces individually, the entire surface of the enveloping member around the core members is formed as heat seal parts, and it is foldable in four directions and is flexible. By cutting the heat seal parts along the core members so as to leave about 3 mm in the periphery, a vacuum heat insulator of any desired shape and wide effective heat insulating area can be obtained.
