Abstract: The invention discloses a method for measurement of peptidic degradation products of a proteolytic cascade in biological samples, especially blood samples, wherein the sample is incubated until a steady state equilibrium is reached for at least one peptidic degradation product involved in said proteolytic cascade and wherein said at least one peptidic degradation product in steady state equilibrium of the proteolytic cascade is quantified in the sample.

Abstract: A breathing mask for filtering air exhaled by a wearer of the breathing mask. The breathing mask includes a mask main body for covering the nose and mouth of the wearer, and at least one breathing valve arrangement which is arranged on the mask main body and includes a valve seat body and a valve membrane that is movable between a release position and a closed position, which valve membrane frees a breathing opening in the release position, closes the breathing opening in the closed position, and includes a reinforcement structure with at least one oblique reinforcement body extending obliquely with respect to a central plane of the valve membrane.

Abstract: The present invention relates to recombinant ACE2 polypeptide, where the ACE2 polypeptide is present as a dimer. The dimer is formed specifically from glycosylated monomers and is used for producing pharmaceutical products with an extended half-life.

Abstract: A visor arrangement, in particular for a safety helmet. The visor arrangement includes at least one protective panel element for at least partially protecting a face of a wearer and at least one additional protective grid element which can be secured locally to the at least one protective panel element in order to protect the at least one protective panel element.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an antibody preparation comprising modified antibodies of an animal or derivatives or fragments thereof, specific for an antigen, characterized in that the antibodies or derivatives or fragments thereof comprise an N-glycan structure free of fucose and xylose, and at least 90%, preferably at least 95%, more preferred at least 99%, most preferred at least 100% of the modified antibodies, derivatives or fragments thereof lack a C-terminal lysine residue.

Abstract: The present invention relates to modified angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) polypeptides and pharmaceutical and analytical uses thereof. In particular, the present invention relates to Zn2+ depleted-, Zn2+ free-, mixed metal- and metal ion substituted-ACE2 as well as methods for the manufacture of these variants and uses thereof, such as therapeutic and analytic uses of these ACE2 variants.

Abstract: The invention discloses a method for measurement of peptidic degradation products of a proteolytic cascade (for example, the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) and the bradykinin system) in biological samples, especially blood samples, wherein the sample is incubated until a steady state equilibrium is reached for at least one peptidic degradation product involved in said proteolytic cascade and wherein said at least one peptidic degradation product in steady state equilibrium of the proteolytic cascade is quantified in the sample.

Abstract: The present invention relates to ACE2 for the therapeutic treatment or prevention of inflammation.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the immune activation of NK cells by the reduction or inhibition of the Cbl-b function in said cells. This stimulates the congenital immune system and thus permits the therapy of appropriate diseases.
