  • Publication number: 20170022223
    Abstract: The method for producing a surface-modified base material according to the present invention includes a step of bringing a base material having a polar group present on a surface thereof into contact with a hydrosilane compound having a molecular structure A and having a Si—H group composed of a silicon atom of the molecular structure A and a hydrogen atom bonded to the silicon atom in the presence of a borane catalyst so as to allow a dehydrocondensation reaction to take place between the base material and the compound, thereby forming the base material surface-modified with the molecular structure A. This production method is capable of surface-modifying a base material at a lower temperature in a shorter time than conventional methods and allows a wide variety of options for the form, type, and application of the base material, the mode of the modification reaction, and the type of the molecular structure with which the base material is surface-modified.

  • Publication number: 20170022248
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for purifying an immunoglobulin, and more particularly, to a method for purifying an immunoglobulin, which comprises: dialyzing and concentrating an immunoglobulin-containing plasma protein fraction II paste; removing thrombotic substances from the dialyzed and concentrated fraction by a purification process using ceramic cation exchange resin; and performing elution while maintaining salt concentration at a constant level to maintain the polymer content of the immunoglobulin at a low level. When the immunoglobulin purification method according to the present invention is used, the efficiency with which impurities and thrombotic substances are removed can be increased and the polymer content of the immunoglobulin can be maintained, and thus a stable immunoglobulin with improved quality can be produced.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to peptides, proteins, nucleic acids and cells for use in immunotherapeutic methods. In particular, the present invention relates to the immunotherapy of cancer, in particular myeloma. The present invention furthermore relates to tumor-associated T-cell peptide epitopes, alone or in combination with other tumor-associated peptides that can for example serve as active pharmaceutical ingredients of vaccine compositions that stimulate anti-tumor immune responses, or to stimulate T cells ex vivo and transfer into patients. Peptides bound to molecules of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC), or peptides as such, can also be targets of antibodies, soluble T-cell receptors, and other binding molecules.
