Title: Human antibodies that have mn binding and cell adhesion-neutralizing activity
Inventor: TAKEUCHI TOSHIHIKO
IPC: C12N5/10
Filed: 2002-10-18
Abstract: The invention is composed of monoclonal human MN antibodies or MN antibody fragments that target the GEEDLP repeat within the proteoglycan domain. The proteoglycan domain of the MN cell surface protein contains four of these identical GEEDLP repeats. Binding to the desired epitope is verified by competition ELISA, where ELISA signal can be attenuated by co-incubation with a peptide containing this repeat (PGEEDLPGEEDLP). This inhibition of binding can also be verified using Biacore assays, where binding of desired antibodies to immobilized MN or proteoglycan peptides can be inhibited by the peptide repeat. In addition to binding to the peptide repeat, human anti-MN antibodies can inhibit the cell adhesion of CGL-1 cells to MN coated plastic plates.  Human anti-MN antibodies have been used to diagnose and quantify MN expression in cancer cells and tumors using FACS and immunohistochemical methods. An example is also provided where a human anti-MN IgG1 mediates tumor cell lysis though antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity. Therefore, these antibodies will be useful for the treatment of cancers in which MN is upregulated or can be useful for the diagnosis of cancers in which MN is upregulated.

Title: An apparatus and method for controlling a voltage converter
Inventor: SATO EIJI
IPC: H02M3/155
Filed: 2003-01-14
Abstract: By using a target voltage Vc* of a capacitor connected to the output side of a DC/DC converter and a voltage Vb of a battery connected to the input side of the DC/DC converter, a duty ratio D (Vb/Vc*) as a drive instruction of the DC/DC converter is calculated (S100, S102). By using the voltage Vb, the electromotive force Vbo of the battery, and the charge/discharge current Ib of the battery, an internal resistance Rb ((Vbo - Vb)/Ib) is calculated (S104).  According to the internal resistance Rb and the electromotive force Vbo, the current value (value Vbo/2Rb) when the battery output becomes maximum is set as the upper limit value of the optimal current range IR (S106). the DC/DC  converter is driven/controlled by limiting the duty ratio D so that the current Ib is within the range of the optimal current range IR (S108, S110, S112). Thus, it is possible to appropriately convert the battery input voltage.
