Abstract:
PURPOSE: A peptide antigen with enhanced immunogenicity and a method for producing the same are provided to enhance immunogenicity and to increase antibody production efficiency. CONSTITUTION: A peptide antigen with enhanced immunogenicity comprises an amino acid sequence with two or more tandem repeat amino acid sequence unit. The peptide antigen additionally contains proline between amino acid sequence units. A vaccine composition contains the peptide antigen, nucleic acid encoding the same, or antibody to the peptide antigen. A method for producing the peptide antigen with immunogenicity comprises: a step of determining amino acid sequence corresponding to an epitope of a target antigen; and a step of preparing a polypeptide comprising two or more tandem repeat amino acid sequence units; or a step of preparing amino acid sequence which additionally contains proline.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A pharmaceutical composition containing interleukin, interleukin-24 agonist or gene encoding interleukin-24 is provided to treat or prevent hypertension or hypertension complication by suppressing expression of hypertension-associated gene. CONSTITUTION: A composition for preventing or treating hypertension contains interleukin-24, interleukin-24 agonist, gene encoding interleukin-24, mutant, or complement thereof. A gene encoding interleukin-24 is contained in viral or non-viral transporter. The composition additionally contains other material for treating hypertension.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A method for producing piceatannol is provided to selectively and massively produce expressive piceatannol from resveratrol. CONSTITUTION: A composition for catalytic reaction to produce piceatannol from resveratrol contains wild type CYP102A1 and/or CYP102A1 mutants. In the CYP102A1 mutant, 47th amino acid, ariginine to leucine; 64th amino acid, glutamic acid to glycine; 74th amino acid, alanine to glycine; 81th amino acid, phenylalanine to isoleucine; 86th amino acid, leucine to isoleucine; 87th amino acid, phenylalanine to valine; and 143th amino acid, glutamic acid to glycine.
