A heterojunction field-effect semiconductor device has a main semiconductor region comprising two layers of dissimilar materials such that a two-dimensional electron gas layer is generated along the heterojunction between the two layers. A source and a drain electrode are placed in spaced positions on a major surface of the main semiconductor region and electrically coupled to the 2DEG layer. Between these electrodes, a gate electrode is received in a recess in the major surface of the main semiconductor region via a p-type metal oxide semiconductor film and insulating film, whereby a depletion zone is normally created in the 2DEG layer, making the device normally off. The p-type metal oxide semiconductor film of high hole concentration serves for the normally-off performance of the device with low gate leak current, and the insulating film for further reduction of gate leak current.

The present disclosure provides antibody sequences found in antibodies that bind to human CD25. In particular, the present disclosure provides sequences of anti-human CD25 antibodies, which do not block the binding of CD25 to IL-2 or IL-2 signalling. Antibodies and antigen-binding portions thereof including such sequences can be used in pharmaceutical composition and methods of treatment, in particular for treating cancer.

A method for making alpha olefins from internal olefins using catalytic distillation techniques and an olefin double bond isomerization catalyst, and separately recovering said alpha olefins.

The present invention provides a pharmaceutical composition containing albumin-binding arginine deiminase fusion protein (AAD) for treating cancer or other arginine-dependent diseases. The AAD fusion protein can be purified from both soluble and insoluble fractions of crude proteins, it binds to human serum albumin (HSA) and has its high activity with longer half life for efficient depletion of arginine in cancer cells. The specific activities of wild-type ADI and AAD in the present invention are 8.4 and 9.2 U/mg (at physiological pH 7.4), respectively. The AAD used in the present invention can be used in the treatment of various cancers (e.g. pancreatic cancer, leukemia, head and neck cancer, colorectal cancer, lung cancer, breast cancer, liver cancer, nasopharyngeal cancer, esophageal cancer, prostate cancer, stomach cancer & brain cancer) and curing arginine-dependent diseases. The composition can be used alone or in combination with at least one chemotherapeutic agent to give a synergistic effect on cancer treatment and/or inhibiting metastasis.

The present disclosure relates to a method of treating a solid tumour, wherein said method involves the use of an antibody to CD25. In particular, the antibody to CD25 is optimized for depletion of regulatory T cells (Treg) within tumours. The present invention also provides novel anti-CD25 antibodies and their combination with other anti-cancer drugs, such as immune checkpoint inhibitors, compounds that target cancer antigens or the inhibitory Fc receptor FcyR11b (CD32b).

A method for treating cancer comprising applying peripheral blood from a patient or subject to an apheresis column loaded with a solid support comprising one or more binding reagents capable of specifically binding to a chemokine receptor, optionally the chemokine receptor CCR7, CCR5, CCR6, CCR8, CXCR4, CXCR7, CCR4, CCR9, CCR10, CXCR3 or CXCR5 or to a Treg receptor immobilized directly or indirectly on the support thus removing one or more chemokine receptor, optionally CCR7, CCR5, CCR6, CCR8, CXCR4, CXCR7, CCR4, CCR9, CCR10, CXCR3 or CXCR5 or Treg receptor expressing cells from the peripheral blood of the patient or subject. Various companion diagnostic methods and useful binding reagents are also described.

The present invention relates to a bias-switchable spectral response high performance PD with multi-mode detection, e.g., dual-mode photoresponses in NIR and visible light ranges. The dual-mode PD has the absorber/spacer type components in its active layer, e.g., a tri-layer configuration of absorber-1 (absorber-1 absorbs the electromagnetic wave of the first wavelength comprising visible light)/optical spacer/absorber-2 (absorber-2 absorbs the electromagnetic wave of the second wavelength comprising IR light). In the presence of IR light, photocurrent generates in the IR light absorbing layer under a reverse bias. In the presence of visible light, photocurrent generates in the visible light absorbing layer under a forward bias. A bias-switchable spectral response PD offers an attractive option for applications in environmental pollution, bio, medical, agricultural, automotive, fishery, food, wellness and security monitoring, detection and imaging in two or different or multiple distinct bands.

Disclosed is a method for detecting hydrogen in steel. According to the method, hydrogen contained in steel is transferred into and preferably concentrated in at least one second material. Representative second materials include metals such as vanadium, niobium, tantalum, and their alloys. Upon transfer to the second material, the hydrogen is detected and preferably quantitatively determined. The data obtained with the method enables conclusions to be drawn about the presence of hydrogen in steel. Preferably, the concentration of hydrogen in steel is quantitatively determined from information obtained about the presence of hydrogen in the second material.

Shielding enzymes are made by modifying the enzyme surface with silica precursors and then depositing silica to a desired thickness while retaining biological activity of the enzyme.

The present invention provides chimeric and humanized versions of anti-CD22 mouse monoclonal antibody, HB22.7.

An aerosol generating device includes a housing having an open end and forms a cavity in communication with the open end for receiving an aerosol generating article. The device further includes a rotatable capture element disposed in the cavity. The rotatable capture element is operable to retain the aerosol generating article within the cavity. The rotatable capture element is longitudinally movable within the cavity. The device further includes a heating element in communication with the cavity. The heating element is operable to heat the aerosol generating article retained by the capture element within the cavity. Combined rotation and longitudinal movement of the capture element causes the aerosol generating element to spiral relative to the heating element.
