Abstract: A toughenable glass article includes a glass and has a thickness of less than 100 ?m and a cooling state which is such that, after chemical toughening to a depth of 30% of the thickness, the glass article has a relative thermal length change potential in a range from ?1500 ppm to ?0 ppm.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an ex vivo method for removal of tumor cells from intra-operatively salvaged blood which comprises contacting a trifunctional antibody with said blood to form aggregates or associates of antibody, tumor cells and immune cells, centrifuging to obtain an erythrocyte concentrate, and filtering to remove said aggregates or associates and residual antibody from said erythrocyte concentrate.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for predicting an improved therapeutic benefit for an individual with a tumor load before initiating an immune therapy which is capable of activating immune cells against said tumor as well as to pharmaceutical compositions for use in this method.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method performed ex vivo for removal of tumor cells from intraoperatively collected blood salvage, to antibodies and scaffold proteins which mimic antibodies for use in said ex vivo method, to the use of said ex vivo method for removal of tumor cells from intraoperatively collected blood salvage followed by reintroducing the so obtained purified blood salvage or of concentrates of erythrocytes purified by said method to a patient from whom said intra-operatively collected blood was obtained, as well as to blood salvage or a concentrate of erythrocytes, both obtainable by said method for reinfusion to said patient.

Abstract: A glass having excellent resistance against surface damages is provided. The glass includes a content of alkaline earth oxides of at least 0.3% by weight and of P2O5 of 0.1 to 4% by weight; the glass has at least one surface that has precipitations with a mean size of 1 to 20 ?m. A method is further provided and includes melting a glass batch, yielding a glass melt, and casting the glass melt onto a float bath. The glass melt is maintained on the float bath at a temperature of above 1000° C. for at least 5 minutes, and yields glass. The glass has a content of alkaline earth oxides of at least 0.3% by weight and of P2O5 of 0.1 to 4% by weight, and the glass has at least one surface that has precipitations with a mean size of 1 to 20 ?m.
