  • Patent number: 10519212
    Abstract: Disclosed in the present invention is a long-acting recombinant human follicle-stimulating hormone-Fc fusion protein (referred to as hFSH-Fc for short) and a preparation method thereof, wherein the hFSH-Fc protein is a dimerized fusion protein and the amino acid sequence thereof successively comprises an hFSH? subunit, CTP, an hFSH? subunit, a flexible peptide linker and human IgG2 Fc variant from N-terminal to C-terminal. Also disclosed in the present invention is the use of the recombinant hFSH-Fc fusion protein composition in preparing drugs in the animal breeding field.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10023624
    Abstract: Recombinant Fc fusion proteins of human follicle-stimulating hormone (hFSH) with in vivo biological activities comparable to those of human follicle-stimulating hormone are disclosed. A recombinant hFSH-Fc fusion protein comprises ? subunit of hFSH (hFSH ?), CTP, ? subunit of hFSH (hFSH ?), a flexible peptide linker, and human IgG2 Fc variant (vIgG2Fc). A method is also disclosed to make such fusion proteins at good expression levels. These recombinant hFSH-Fc fusion proteins of the present disclosure exhibit sufficient biological activities and prolonged plasma half-lives, leading to improved pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. Thus, a lower dosage may be used and/or better or different therapeutic efficacies with less side effects may be achieved. A method for the application of the recombinant hFSH-Fc fusion proteins in the treatment and/or prevention of human infertility is also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 9491398
    Abstract: A method and system for detecting and processing a series of video frames includes receiving the series of video frames, determining whether the video frames are associated with a recognized non-video source, and depending on the determination, processing the video frames using a variety of techniques. A system may detect whether each video frame is a repeat frame or a new original frame, keep the new original frames, discard the repeat frames, and then adjust one or more timestamps associated with the new original frames so as to conform to an intermediate frame rate. The frame indexes and timestamps associated with the new original frames are stored in a FIFO or buffer. The system can interpolate video frames using the stored timestamps, and output a series of video frames. The output video stream is delivered at any frame rate and can include original video frames and interpolated video frames.
