    Publication number: 20190159615
    Abstract: A reusable, spill-proof lid for a drinking vessel. The lid has a cap member that is selectively moveable between a seated position to form an inner seal, and an unseated position that forms a gap that facilitates drinking of liquid contents from the drinking vessel. The lid is particularly moveable from the seated position to the unseated position via a downwardly directed force applied by the upper lip of a user.

  • HETERODIMER MOLECULE BASED ON CH3 DOMAIN, AND PREPARATION METHOD AND USE THEREOF
    Publication number: 20180362668
    Abstract: A heterodimer molecule based on CH3, and a preparation method therefor and a use thereof. By comprehensively considering various interactions between molecules, for example, an ionic action, a hydrophobic interaction and a spatial action, a preferred Fc mutant sequence being more inclined to form a heterodimer rather than a homodimer is screened, and accordingly, the yield of the heterodimer molecule is greatly improved, thereby creating conditions for the preparation of bispecific molecules and the like.
