Information terminal cradle

A gene encoding a methylated catechin synthase that can effectively synthesize methylated catechins having high antiallergic activity. The gene encoding a methylated catechin synthase contains at least one nucleotide sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOs: 1, 3 and 5.

Gene encoding methylated catechin synthase

This invention is to provide an agent for therapy and prevention of allergic diseases which has no adverse action, shows a high safety even by administration for a long period and is able to be utilized to food and/or beverage, cosmetics, etc. which are used daily. To be specific, it provides antiallergic agent and anti-inflammatory agent characterized in containing at least one polyphenol selected from strictinin and methylated derivatives thereof as an effective ingredient; a method for the addition of an antiallergic agent for oral administration or an anti-inflammatory agent for oral administration which is characterized in containing at least one polyphenol selected from strictinin and methylated derivatives thereof as an effective ingredient to food and/or beverage for prevention, suppression and mitigation of allergic symptoms or inflammatory symptoms.

Method for treating an allergic or inflammatory disease

A catalytic converter for cleaning exhaust gas includes a heat-resistant support, and a coating formed on the support. The coating includes at least one kind of catalytically active substance and a zirconium oxide. The zirconium oxide has a pre-aging specific surface area I and a post-aging specific surface area A, wherein the aging is performed in an atmosphere of 1,000&deg; C. for 5 hours, and wherein A/I&gE;0.4 and I&gE;40 m /g.

Catalytic converter for automotive pollution control, and process for making catalytic converter

Cosmetics, foods and beverages supplemented with purified strictinin

Catalytic converter for automotive pollution control, and oxygen-storing complex oxide used therefor

A catalytic converter for cleaning exhaust gas includes a heat-resistant support, and a catalytic coating formed on the heat-resistant support. The catalytic coating contains Pd-carrying particles of a cerium complex oxide, Pt & Rh-carrying particles of zirconium complex oxide, and particles of a heat-resistant inorganic oxide.

Catalytic converter for cleaning exhaust gas

Provided are a human immunocompetent fused cell line, characterized in that any one of a mutant cell selected from the group consisting of ICLU-B, ICLU-T and ICLU-E is used as a parent cell line, wherein said mutant cell is obtained by selecting an 8-azaguanine- or 6-thioguanine-resistant clone from a human Burkitt lymphoma cell line Raji, a human T-cell lymphocytic leukemia cell line PEER and a human eosinophilic leukemia cell line EoL-1, and then treating said clone in order to capable of serum-free culture, and a method of obtaining said human immunocompetent fused cell line. The human immunocoipetent fused cell line obtained by the present invention is used to investigate food functions, novel drugs and production thereof with the view to the elucidation of mechanisms of phenomena of an immune system such as allergies, cancers and the like using human cell lines, and the prevention, diagnosis and therapy of these diseases.

Fused cell line and method of obtaining the same

Provided is a heat-resistant oxide exhibiting excellent oxygen storage capacity under a high temperature oxidation-reduction fluctuating atmosphere regardless of reduction of its specific surface area, and this heat-resistant oxide is expressed in the following general formula:
