Abstract: The present invention provides a current and resistance sensor, comprising: a photo-induced-voltage-generating solution chamber for receiving a photoreceptor-protein-containing solution; and a compound layer on one side of the photo-induced-voltage-generating solution chamber, wherein the compound layer is responsive to changes in the amount of protons in the solution, and the compound layer is provided with a gap corresponding in position to the photo-induced-voltage-generating solution chamber and is thus rendered discontinuous within the photo-induced-voltage-generating solution chamber.

Abstract: A hepatitis B virus (HBV) vaccine includes an HBV core antigen (HBcAg) and/or HBV surface antigen (HBsAg) formulated in nanocomplexes. The nanocomplexes contain chitosan and ?-PGA. These nanocomplexes containing HBc/sAg, chitosan, and ?-PGA can induce more balanced T helper cells (Th1 and Th2) polarization than can a conventional vaccine with an alum adjuvant. HBc/s-NC of the invention can elicit high levels of antibodies against HBsAg, a rapid elimination of HBsAg, and a slow decrease of HBeAg, indicating a phenomenon of HBsAg seroconversion. Thus, HBc/s-NC can overcome immune tolerance caused by chronic HBV infection to re-establish host immunity leading a functional cure.
