  • Patent number: 10711268
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing a peptide library capable of incorporating an arbitrary number of arbitrary proteinogenic and/or non-proteinogenic amino acids in an arbitrary site. The invention provides a method for producing a peptide library including 1×106 or more kinds of peptides containing amino acids encoded by N1N2N3, including a step of preparing an mRNA library including mRNAs which encode peptides of the peptide library and each contain at least one N1N2N3; and a step of translating each mRNA of the mRNA library in a cell-free translation system added with tRNA containing an anticodon to any one of N1N2N3 codons and charged with an amino acid corresponding to the codon (wherein, N1, N2, and N3 are each independently selected from adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), and uracil (U) and an arbitrary amino acid is reassigned to each N1N2N3).

  • Patent number: 10673178
    Abstract: A terminal block in which outflow of a sealing portion made of a rubber-based adhesive can be suppressed even when exposed to a heated environment, and the sealing properties can be maintained. The terminal block includes a housing having a resin portion, a bus bar, and the sealing portion. The bus bar integrally includes an embedded portion embedded in the resin portion, and a connecting portion projecting outward from the resin portion. The sealing portion fills a gap between the embedded portion and the resin portion. The sealing portion is made of a rubber-based adhesive. The bus bar includes a base material made of Cu or a Cu alloy, and an Sn-based plated layer made of Sn or an Sn alloy and partially covering a surface of the base material. The base material is exposed at a sealing region in contact with the sealing portion.

  • Publication number: 20190224257
    Abstract: Drug compositions of angiogenesis therapy contain gene coding for human prostacyclin synthase (hPGIS) synthesizing prostaglandin I2 with activities of vasodialation and/or anti-platelet aggregation; drug compositions contain adeno-associated virus (AAV) inserted with gene for angiogenesis factors. The administration of the drug compositions into the aimed treatment region results in transfer of AAV type 1-hPGIS to skeletal muscles and induces a notable expression of human PGIS gene in skeletal muscles. The PGI2 is produced by mediation of the gene expression in the muscle cells, secreted, induces vessel-protective, neovascularization and anti-platelet aggregation actions, which lead to an improvement in vascular ischemia.
