  • Publication number: 20220364065
    Abstract: An object is to provide a composition and a method for eliminating undifferentiated pluripotent stem cells remaining in a cell group induced to differentiate from pluripotent stem cells. It has been found that while dihydroorotate dehydrogenase inhibitors exhibit cytotoxic activity against pluripotent stem cells, they do not exhibit significant cytotoxic activity against differentiated cells such as somatic stem cells.

  • Publication number: 20220332842
    Abstract: In order to provide an antibody having high therapeutic and prophylactic effects against cancer and the like, three types of mouse monoclonal antibodies were prepared which exhibit high affinities for a human-derived Eva1 protein. Moreover, constant regions of these antibodies were substituted with human-derived constant regions to also prepare chimeric antibodies. Further, these mouse antibodies and chimeric antibodies were found to have high ADCC and/or CDC activities. Furthermore, it was also revealed that administering these antibodies to mice having been subjected to melanoma cell administration suppresses the metastasis and the like of the cells to the lungs.

  • Patent number: 11415703
    Abstract: A GNSS receiver has a first antenna and a reference antenna. From the measurement of a carrier phase L1k of GNSS signals at the first antenna and a reference carrier phase L0k at the reference antenna, a single difference L10k is obtained, whereby calculating a double difference L10k0=L10k?L100 between a k-th GNSS satellite and a reference satellite (k=0). The double difference L10k0 is also predicted using known satellite position information as a function of a differencing vector ek0 between a unit line-of-sight direction vector ek of the k-th satellite and that of the reference satellite e0 and a base line vector ? with a second integer bias N10k0. A real time kinematic (RTK) positioning solution is calculated with ambiguity resolution based on the predicted value of L10k0 and the calculated value of L10k0. A spoofing is detected if the RTK positioning solution yields ?=0.
