  • Patent number: 12540941
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an epitope of a thioredoxin-1 (Trx1) antigen and a use thereof, and more particularly, to the epitope, and an antibody or an antigen-binding fragment binding thereto. The epitope region of the human Trx1 antigen confirmed in the present invention may be effectively used in the development of an improved antibody to enhance the binding affinity of an anti-Trx1 antibody. In addition, the improved antibody of the present invention is effective in improvement of performance of a breast cancer diagnosis kit due to excellent binding affinity for Trx1 and very high sensitivity and specificity, compared to a conventional anti-Trx1 antibody. Further, the accuracy and reliability of breast cancer diagnosis may significantly increase because exceptionally high sensitivity and specificity are exhibited by detecting the monoclonal antibody of the present invention, which specifically binds to Trx1, rather than detecting CA15-3, another conventional breast cancer diagnostic biomarker.

  • Patent number: 12325319
    Abstract: An apparatus, system and method for autonomous power generation and recharging in electric vehicles (EVs) enhance the energy sufficiency of EVs by enabling EVs to autonomously generate electricity during both motion and stationary conditions, reducing reliance on external charging stations. In some examples, a flywheel-based energy generation system stores rotational energy and transfers it to a generator for electricity production. Through the features such as flywheels with weight control balls, gear-based or gearless configurations, and optional wind-capturing blades, the system maximizes autonomous power generation and energy conversion.
