Abstract: A vehicle control device includes: an engine and a first motor generator from both of which a driving force for traveling is output to drive wheels; and an electricity storage device that storages electric power for driving the first motor generator. When a vehicle weight is in a reference state at a time of deceleration braking, the first motor generator is mainly caused, out of the first motor generator and the engine, to generate a braking force, and when the vehicle weight is greater than that in the reference state, the engine is mainly caused, out of the first motor generator and the engine, to generate the braking force. Thus, a sufficient braking force can be obtained while an input limit of the electricity storage device is prevented from being reached.

Abstract: From PBMCs of patients infected with H1N1pdm, three human monoclonal antibodies have been obtained which are capable of binding to an epitope present at residues 40 to 58 in an HA2 region of a hemagglutinin protein derived from H1N1pdm. Further, these antibodies have been found to also have a neutralization activity against subtype H1 and subtype H5 of group 1 influenza A viruses. On the other hand, the three antibodies have also been found to exhibit neither a binding ability nor a neutralization activity against subtype H2 which belongs to the group 1, but in the HA2 region derived from H1N1pdm of which the amino acid at residue 45 is substituted with phenylalanine and the amino acid at residue 47 is substituted with glycine.
