Abstract: The present invention relates to tools and methods for the generation of antibodies which specifically bind chemokine receptors, such as CC or CXC chemokine receptors. Provided are isolated sulfated polypeptides and conjugates thereof, which can be used for example as antigens or for off target panning to facilitate the generation of anti-human, anti-cynomolgus, and/or anti-mouse chemokine receptor antibodies, e.g. for the generation of antibodies with fully human CDRs and/or other favorable properties for therapeutic use. The present invention furthermore relates to antibodies and conjugates thereof which can be obtained by applying the aforementioned tools and methods. Provided are antibodies specifically binding to human, cynomolgus and/or murine CCR8 with favorable properties for therapeutic use, such as cross-reactive antibodies, fully human antibodies, low internalizing (including non-internalizing) antibodies, and antibodies efficiently inducing ADCC and/or ADCP in Treg cells.

Abstract: A composite material for producing an acoustic membrane, wherein the composite material comprises a silicone layer comprising an at least partially uncured silicone rubber and a support layer, wherein the support layer is adjacent to the silicone layer, as well as a method of preparing such a composite material and a process for producing an acoustic membrane from such a composite material.

Abstract: Acoustic membrane (100) comprising at least three layers with a first outer layer (101) and a second outer layer (102), wherein the first and the second outer layer (101, 102) are formed by a thermoplastic elastomer, wherein the thermoplastic elastomer forming the first outer layer and the thermoplastic elastomer forming the second outer layer are independently from each other selected from the group consisting of polyester elastomers, co-polyester elastomers, styrene block copolymers, elastic co-polyamides, thermoplastic silicones, and elastomeric polyolefins, preferably co-polyester elastomers.
