  • Patent number: 9982032
    Abstract: A stable liquid formulation includes a fusion protein having an Fc domain of a human immunoglobulin G (IgG), in particular, a protein in which an Fc domain of a human immunoglobulin G (IgG) and a soluble extracellular domain of a vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) receptor are fused (e.g., aflibercept)). A composition for stabilizing a protein and a method for stabilizing a protein in which an Fc domain of an IgG and a soluble extracellular domain of a VEGF receptor are fused are disclosed. The present invention improves therapeutic effects on various ophthalmic diseases (e.g., retinal vein occlusion, diabetic macular edema, choroidal neovascularization and wet age-related macular degeneration, etc.) caused by abnormal angiogenesis, while pursuing stabilization of bioactivity through a stable liquid formulation suitable for intravitreal injection of an anti-VEGF-Fc fusion protein including aflibercept.

  • Patent number: 9814782
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an antibody in which a motif composed of an amino acid or peptide sequence including one or more cysteine residues is bound to the terminus of a parent antibody, particularly the terminus of the heavy chain of the parent antibody. Also, the present invention relates to a modified antibody-drug conjugate (mADC) comprising a drug bound to the antibody, and a method for producing the antibody or the modified antibody-drug conjugate. The modified antibody-drug conjugate according to the invention can accurately deliver the drug to a target cell due its high specificity to antigen, and thus can increase the therapeutic effect of the drug. Also, it can increase the usability of drugs, particularly anticancer drugs, the use of which is restricted due to their toxicity, despite their high efficacy. Moreover, the invention relates to a composition for treatment of diseases, particularly cancers, which comprise the modified antibody-drug conjugate.

  • Patent number: 8354009
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for manufacturing a highly efficient flexible thin metal film-laminated strip by improves adhesiveness between a polyimide strip and a thin metal film, and removes stress from thin films laminated through magnetron sputtering, which is a dry deposition process. The stress-free flexible circuit board manufacturing method includes the steps of: a) depositing a seed layer on the substrate using the magnetron deposition source; b) depositing a compressive thin film using the single magnetron deposition source arranged next to the magnetron deposition source; c) depositing tensile thin film using the dual magnetron deposition source arranged next to the single magnetron deposition source; and d) repeating the steps b) and c) so as to sequentially and alternately deposit compressive thin films and tensile thin films thereby obtaining a thick film with a desired thickness.

  • Publication number: 20110017588
    Abstract: A method for forming a thick film by magnetron sputtering is provided. The method includes forming a first thin film having residual compressive stress on a board by magnetron sputtering, forming a second thin film having tensile residual stress on the first thin film by magnetron sputtering, and depositing the thick film by repeating the forming of the first and second thin films for more than one time, so that the overall residual stress is controlled within a predetermined range. According to the method, a thick film of same or different materials can be formed, while the overall stress of the thick film is controlled within an acceptable range.
