Abstract: The invention relates to a composition for the treatment of various cancers. The composition is a vaccine containing sequences of EDB, EDA, annexin A1, endosialin, C domain of tenascin C or magic roundabout (MR) or fragments thereof as single or in a combination coupled to one or several heterologous foreign carrier molecules. The vaccine will produce antibodies that are directed against self proteins which are preferentially expressed in and around tumor vessels. The vaccine is preferably administrated together with an adjuvant.

Abstract: The invention relates to compositions for the treatment of TH2 mediated inflammatory conditions. The compositions are vaccines comprising a non-primate TSLP or fragments thereof to be used as a vaccine to treat humans with excessive mediated inflammatory conditions. For the treatment of TH2 mediate inflammatory conditions in other non-human mammals the TSLP of the species to be vaccinated is being used as antigen.

Abstract: A cover belt for a duct is presented, which can be swung up from a closed position by a deflecting device movable in the longitudinal direction of the duct and falls back in its closed position behind the deflecting device. The cover belt is made of a flexibly deformable material with metallic reinforcements. The cover belt is comprised of a securing strip, a joint strip and a cover strip. The securing strip is secured along the duct, the joint strip connects the securing strip flexibly to the cover strip, and the cover strip spans the duct and is supported on both sides of the duct. At least one belt-shaped textile reinforcement layer with essentially the same overall width as the cover belt is embedded in the flexibly deformable material in the area of the neutral plane of the cover belt.
