Long-acting adrenomedullin derivative conjugated with Fc region of immunoglobulin
The invention provides a novel adrenomedullin derivative sustainable for a long period which is capable of substantially suppressing unwanted side effects while maintaining pharmacological effects of adrenomedullin. An aspect of the invention relates to a compound represented by formula (I): [wherein A is an Fc region of an immunoglobulin, B is a peptide moiety derived from adrenomedullin or a modified form thereof with adrenomedullin activity, and L is a linking group comprising a peptide having any given amino acid sequence] or a salt thereof, or a hydrate thereof. Another aspect of the invention relates to a method for producing the compound represented by formula (I), and a medicament comprising the compound as an active ingredient.
A-L-B (I).

BCMA-binding antibody and use thereof
Provided is an antibody, which is capable of specifically binding to a B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA). The provided BCMA antibody is capable of specifically binding to an extracellular fragment of the BCMA and has excellent affinity and specificity; and the antibody is a functional antibody and has the activity blocking binding of the BCMA with its ligand APRIL. Immune cells constructed based on the antibody has an excellent specific killing function for a BCMA-positive tumor cell.
SECRETABLE PROTEIN INDUCED IMMUNE TOLERIZATION AND TREATMENT OF AUTOIMMUNE, ALLERGIC AND OTHER DISEASES AND DISORDERS
Nucleic acids encoding fusion proteins that contain an unwanted antigen and a leader sequence for cell secretion are described. Also described are expression cassettes, vectors, cells, and cell lines containing the nucleic acids, as well as methods of using the nucleic acids to treat autoimmune, allergic and other diseases and disorders, such as multiple sclerosis.

POPTAG PEPTIDE AND USES THEREOF
Proteins and fusion proteins for forming merbraneless droplets in cells are provided. Described herein, is the development of a protein, named PopTag, that drives phase separation when it is part of a chimeric fusion protein. PopTag is engineered from the PopZ protein, found in a-proteobacteria (including Caulobacter crescentus). Despite PopZ being exclusively found in this clade of bacteria, the PopTag can drive protein phase separation in other prokaryotes (e.g., E. coli) and eukaryotes (e.g., human cells).
