Abstract: Provided is a method of amplifying a nucleic acid of a cell involving applying ultrasonic waves to lyse a cell bound to a solid support to provide a cell lysate comprising a nucleic acid; separating the cell lysate from the solid support; adding a protease to the cell lysate; and amplifying the nucleic acid.

Abstract: Provided are a composition or a kit for detecting a nucleic acid with genetic variation including a first amplification blocking nucleic acid and a second amplification blocking nucleic acid, and a method of detecting a nucleic acid with genetic variation by using the same. Based on the above, a nucleic acid with genetic variation can be detected with high sensitivity and accuracy.

Abstract: A polypeptide linker comprising an antibody-binding region and an enzyme cleavage region, and related compositions, kits, and methods of using same.

Abstract: A method of re-collecting a target material using a filter is provided. The method includes reversely flowing a first fluid from a first flow channel towards a second flow channel through a filter unit so that the target material is included in the first fluid that flows through the second flow channel, wherein the filter includes: the first flow channel, the second flow channel that at least in part overlaps the first flow channel and is disposed above the first flow channel, and the filter unit that is disposed on a region where the first flow channel overlaps the second flow channel and where the target material is captured.

Abstract: A device, system, and method for detecting or separating target molecules allowing efficient detection even when only a small amount of target molecules or target cells are included in a sample involving the use of a target molecule linkage portion, a signal production portion, and first and second separation portions.

Abstract: Provided are compositions, kits, and methods for separating cells including complexes of at least one type of linker capable of binding to an antibody or antigen binding fragment and a solid phase.

Abstract: Provided herein is a method of sequential and multiple immunostaining for detection of various antigens in the same specimens, which may be used for qualitative or quantitative analysis of proteins expressed, gene analysis, and morphological analysis even in specimens where only a small amount is available.

Abstract: A polypeptide linker comprising an antibody-binding region and an enzyme cleavage region, and related compositions, kits, and methods of using same.

Abstract: A target material capturing filter is described herein. The target material capturing filter may include an inlet through which a fluid enters; an outlet through which at least a portion of the fluid is discharged; a first flow path that is connected to the inlet; a second flow path that is connected to the outlet; and a filter unit that is disposed between the first flow path and the second flow path and captures the target material by letting drop at least a portion of the fluid that flows through the first flow path.

Abstract: A method of detecting a cancer stem cell or circulating tumor cell that has undergone epithelial-mesenchymal transition, comprising determining the level of caveolin-1 expressed by a sample cell, and comparing the level of caveolin-1 expressed by the sample cell to a control, wherein higher expression of caveolin-1 by the sample cell indicates that the sample cell is a cancer cell, as well as a method of detecting cancer or metastasis in a subject, and related methods and compositions.

Abstract: A cell counter system includes an inlet via which a fluid containing a plurality of cells inflows; a channel in which the fluid flows; a valve unit, which controls flow of the fluid in the channel; an electrode unit, which is arranged in the channel for measuring impedance for counting a number of the plurality of cells; and an outlet, which is connected to the channel to drain the fluid.

Abstract: A device, system, and method for detecting or separating target molecules allowing efficient detection even when only a small amount of target molecules or target cells are included in a sample involving the use of a target molecule linkage portion, a signal production portion, and first and second separation portions.

Abstract: Provided is a system and method for recommending a blog. The blog recommendation system includes a segmentation unit to classify blogs according to at least one category of age and gender of a user, an extraction unit to extract a plurality of search terms retrieved by a user corresponding to the category, a cluster unit to learn the search terms into a document in the classified blogs and to group the search terms into at least one cluster, a generation unit to generate a blog pool related to the search terms included in the cluster, and a recommendation unit to provide the user with at least one blog in the blog pool as a recommended blog.

Abstract: A metal nanowire including gold nanoclusters on the surface thereof for binding a target material and a method of binding the target material to the metal nanowire are provided.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a B cell-based vaccine loaded with the ligand of natural killer T cell and antigen for the prevention and treatment of disease, more precisely, an immunotherapeutic and prophylactic vaccine mediated by B cells loaded with ?-galactosylceramide, a kind of glycolipid which can stimulate natural killer T cells. A vaccine composition of the present invention can be effectively used as an antitumor immunotherapeutic agent. B cells therein, which are easily obtainable compared with dendritic cells, not only induce a similar level of cytotoxic T lymphocyte response to that of the conventional dendritic cell-based vaccine but also have a prophylactic and therapeutic effect on solid tumor and metastatic tumor.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an immuno-therapeutic and prophylactic vaccine comprising monocytes or immature myeloid cells (IMCs) loaded with the ligand of natural killer T cell and an antigen for the prevention and treatment of infectious disease or cancer, more precisely, an immuno-therapeutic and prophylactic vaccine comprising monocytes or IMCs loaded with ?-galactosylceramide (?GalCer), a kind of glycolipid and a natural killer T cell ligand, and antigen. Monocytes or immature myeloid cells (IMCs) therein, which are easily obtainable, unlike dendritic cells, not only induce a significant level of cytotoxic T lymphocyte responses but also have a prophylactic and therapeutic effect on malignant tumor. Therefore, the immuno-therapeutic and prophylactic vaccine of the present invention can be effectively used as an immunotherapeutic agent.
