Abstract: The present invention provides peptides containing the BIG3 polypeptide-binding site in a PHB2 polypeptide, which inhibit the binding between a PHB2 polypeptide and a BIG3 polypeptide, and pharmaceutical compositions containing the peptide. The peptides of the present invention have the ability to bind not to PHB2, whose expression is found in organs throughout the human body, but to BIG3, which is a protein highly expressed specifically in particularly estrogen receptor-positive cancer, and have excellent growth suppressive effects on BIG3-positive cancer cells. Accordingly, the peptides of the present invention are useful as therapeutic agents for breast cancer which can avoid expression of side effects.

Abstract: The present invention provides peptides having a structure in which portions of a dominant-negative peptide of BIG3 which inhibits the interaction between BIG3 and PHB2 are replaced by at least two stapling structures. The peptides of the present invention have excellent cell growth inhibiting activity. The cell growth inhibiting activity lasts longer, compared to a single-stapled peptide. Therefore, the peptides of the present invention have a feature suitable for clinical applications in cancer therapy.

Abstract: The present inventors successfully produced monoclonal antibodies that are specific to only soluble A beta oligomers, but do not recognize soluble A beta monomers, which are physiological molecules. It was demonstrated that the antibodies are useful as diagnostic/therapeutic monoclonal antibodies for Alzheimer's disease.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for manufacturing a resin composition by which a polyester resin composition with excellent mechanical properties can be manufactured at low cost, and a resin composition manufactured thereby. A raw material composition containing a polyester resin, a polyolefin resin and a compatibilizer is kneaded in the presence of moisture. Each of the components may be mixed so as to prepare the raw material composition and kneaded thereafter, or may be mixed during the kneading so as to obtain the raw material composition. The raw material composition may contain an additive such as a plant tissue-derived component and an inorganic filler, as necessary. Moreover, in the kneading step, the kneading preferably is conducted while at least one of the components of the raw material composition except the moisture is added into the raw material composition, as necessary.

Abstract: Additive is supplied to the lubricating oil by an additive supplying pump according to TBN of the lubricating oil which is detected by a TBN sensor which detects the current produced by the impressed voltage. TBN is kept between 0 and 2.
