A number of studies in recent years of have begun to look at the connection between country affinity (an interest in and admiration of a particular country) and a desire to buy the products and services of that country. Country affinity has been shown to be particularly important when consumers lack other sources of information about a good or service. However, except for direct questioning, methods to identify the affinity consumers might have for another country are lacking. This study examines the degree to which attending a movie set in a particular country will be related to an affinity for that country and possibly by extension the goods and services of that country. It is not the goal of this study to suggest that movies create the affinity, but rather that that the affinity will exist for viewers of the films. Two films set in Ireland and featuring Irish actors where shown to audiences composed of Korean students and a small number of Korean adults. As a point of comparison, students in two introductory consumer classes were also asked to complete a similar questionnaire. Four affinity factors were identified from a list of 17 items. Those who attended the historical drama showed a greater affinity for Ireland than those who attended the romantic musical. Affinity for Ireland among Koreans was also meaningful in predicting interest in purchasing Irish products.

Targeted glycoproteomics is an effective way to discover disease-associated glycoproteins in proteomics and serial affinity chromatography (SAC) using lectin and glycan-targeting antibodies shows glycan diversity on the captured glycoproteins. This study suggests a way to determine glycan heterogeneity and structural analysis on the post-translationally modified proteins through serial affinity column set (SACS) using four Lycopersicon esculentum lectin (LEL) columns. The great advantage of this method is that it differentiates between glycoproteins on the basis of their binding affinity. Through this study, some proteins were identified to have glycoforms with different affinity on a single glycoprotein. It will be particularly useful in determining biomarkers in which the disease-specific feature is a unique glycan, or a group of glycans.

Affinity membranes have emerged principally to overcome the problems of limited specificity experienced with membranes that operate purely on a sieving mechanism and as an alternative to the traditional affinity resins. It is a logical expectation that affinity membranes might combine the outstanding selectivity of affinity resins with the high productivity associated with filtration membranes.(omitted)

방사선 graft 중합법을 이용하여, microfiltration hollow fiber(MF)에 affinity ligand로서 소수성 아미노산 (tryptophan)을 고정하였다. affinity막에 압력차를 주어 막의 안쪽으로 부터 바깥쪽으로 단백질 용액을 투과시키면서, 단백질의 흡착 성능을 알아보았다. affinity막이 확산이동 저항이 없는 우수한 분리 기능 재료인 것을 나타내었다.

소비자의 기술 수용은 제품의 구매와 밀접한 연관을 지니고 있기 때문에, 많은 학자들에 의해서 그 중요성이 강조되어 왔다. 본 논문에서는 개인의 특성으로서 기술에 대한 친밀감 및 다른 심리적 변수들이 기술 수용에 미치는 영향에 관하여 연구하였다. 그러나 기존의 연구와는 다르게, 기술의 대상을 한정하지 않고, 일반적 기술에 대한 소비자의 친밀감을 바탕으로 연구가 진행되었다. 연구 결과, 인지욕구와 자아효능감은 기술 친밀도에 영향을 미치는 동시에, 기술 친밀도는 기술 습득 의도에 정의 영향을 미치는 것으로 드러났다. 또한 기술 친밀도는 인지욕구와 자아효능감이 기술 습득에 미치는 영향을 매개하는 것으로 나타났다.

It is well established that blocking the interaction of EGFR with growth factors leads to the arrest of tumor growth, resulting in tumor cell death. ER414 is a human monoclonal antibody (mAb) derived by guided selection of the mouse mAb A13. The ER414 exhibited a ~17-fold lower affinity and, as a result, lower efficacy of inhibition of the EGF-mediated tyrosine phosphorylation of EGFR when compared with mAb A13 and cetuximab. We performed a stepwise in vitro affinity maturation to improve the affinity of ER414. We obtained a 3D model of ER414 to identify the amino acids in the CDRs that needed to be mutated. Clones were selected from the phage library with randomized amino acids in the CDRs and substitution of amino acids in the HCDR3 and LCDR1 of ER414 led to improved affinity. A clone, H3-14, with a ~20-fold increased affinity, was selected from the HCDR3 randomized library. Then three clones, ER2, ER78 and ER79, were selected from the LCDR1 randomized library based on the H3-14 but did not show further increased affinities compared to that of H3-14. Of the three, ER2 was chosen for further characterization due to its better expression than others. We successfully performed affinity maturation of ER414 and obtained antibodies with a similar affinity as cetuximab. And antibody from an affinity maturation inhibits the EGF-mediated tyrosine phosphorylation of EGFR in a manner similar to cetuximab.

Oxomemazine이 muscarinic receptor subtypes에 대하여 선택성을 가지는지에 관한 지견을 얻고자, 대뇌, 심실 및 회장 muscarinic receptor에 대한 oxomemazine의 결합성질을 조사, 비교하였다. $[^3H]QNB$ 포화결합실험 결과 세 조직의 muscarinic receptor는 $[^3H]QNB$에 대해서는 affinity가 약 60pM인 단일 receptor인 것으로 추정되었다. 대뇌에서 pirenzepine과 oxomemazine의 $[^3H]QNB$ 결합억제에 대한 Hill coefficient는 각각 0.67 및 0.8로서 대뇌에는 이들 약물에 대하여 affinity가 서로 다른 두 종류의 muscarinic receptor subtypes가 존재하는 것으로 나타났으며, pirenzepine에 대한 high $affinity(M_1)$와 $low affinity(M_2)$ receptor 및 oxomemazine에 대한 high $affinity(O_H)$와 $low\;affinity (O_L)$ receptor의 분포비는 약 60:40 및 40:60이었고, $M_1$과 $M_2$ receptor에 대한 pirenzepine의 $K_i$치는 16nM 및 431 nM, $O_H$와 $O_L$, receptor에 대한 oxomemazine 의 $K_i$치는 80nM 및 1350nM이었다. 그러나 심실과 회장에서 이들 약물의 $[^3H]QNB$ 결합억제에 대한 Hill coefficient는 1에 가까웠다. 심실과 회장 muscarinic receptor에 대한 pirenzepine의 $K_i$치는 850nM 및 250nM, oxomemazine의 $K_i$치는 1460nM 및 670nM로서 대피에서 이들 약물의 low affinity receptor에 대한 $K_i$치에 가까웠다. 즉, muscarinic receptor에 대한 affinity면에서 oxomemazine은 pirenzepine과 같이 대뇌에서 가장 높았으며, 회장에 대해서는 중등도였고, 심실에서 가장 낮았다. 이로 보아 oxomemazine은 $M_1\;receptor$에 선택성이 있는 것으로 추정된다.

Bacillus stearothermophilus의 mutant가 생산하는 cyclodextrin glucanotransferase(CGTase)를 affinity chromatography법을 이용하여 정제하였다. 이 CGTase의 회수율은 95%이었고 specific activity는 26.2U/mg protein에서 485.5U/mg protein으로 증가하였다. 정제된 CGTase는 SDS-polyacrylamide gel 전기영동 결과 단일 band로 나타났다. CGTase는 affinity chromatography를 이용하여 one-step으로 정제할 수 있었다.

In a previous study we generated an anti-Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) preS1 humanized antibody (HzKR127) that showed in vivo HBV-neutralizing activity in chimpanzees. However, the antigen-binding affinity of the humanized antibody may not be sufficient for clinical use and thus affinity maturation is required for better therapeutic efficacy. In this study, phage display technique was employed to increase the affinity of HzKR127. All six amino acid residues (Glu95-Tyr96-Asp97-Glu98-Ala99-Tyr100) in the heavy (H) chain complementary-determining region 3 (HCDR3) of HzKR127 were randomized and phage-displayed single chain Fv (scFv) library was constructed. After three rounds of panning, 12 different clones exhibiting higher antigen-binding activity than the wild type ScFv were selected and their antigen-binding specificity for the preS1 confirmed. Subsequently, five ScFv clones were converted to whole IgG and subjected to affinity determination. The results showed that two clones (B3 and A19) exhibited an approximately 6 fold higher affinities than that of HzKR127. The affinity-matured humanized antibodies may be useful in anti-HBV immunotherapy.
