Abstract: A method for transferring data from a head-end to a number of receivers by means of a digital broadcast signal is described, wherein each of the receivers includes a descrambler for descrambling a received digital transport stream. The method includes sending a message from the head-end to each receiver to which data needs to be transferred. This message includes a key unique to the respective receiver and the unique key is loaded in the descrambler of the respective receiver. A table of unique keys with corresponding addresses of the respective receivers is provided at the head-end. Further at the request of at least one receiver, data packets with an individual address of this at least one receiver are provided and these data packets are inserted into transport packets of a digital transport stream. A key is selected from the table in accordance with the address of the data packet and the transport packets are scrambled using the selected key. The digital transport stream is broadcasted and received at one or more receivers. The scrambled transport packets of the digital transport stream are descrambled only at the receiver having the unique key used to scramble the scrambled transport packets.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for isolating cancer cells from body fluids containing cells. The invention also relates to sets for carrying out said method, cancer cells isolated from body fluids, cell lines established therefrom or derived cell constituents, the use thereof as therapeutic agents or targets, and pharmaceutical or veterinary products containing them. The inventive method is based on the idea that body fluids containing cells are comprised of different sized and different shaped cells and groups of cells. According to the invention, body fluids containing cells or fractions of said body fluids are filtered in a sieve that retains cancer cells. The isolation and characterization of cancer cells is highly important, especially in the field of oncology, in order to respond to questions related to diagnostics, prognoses, therapeutics and scientific matters in human medicine and veterinary medicine. The inventive method also enables cancer cells to be removed totally from fluids or fractions (isolates) thereof containing cells. The isolated cancer cells, cell lines established therefrom and derived cell constituents reflect a substantially native i.e. biological state that can be associated with corresponding cancer cells in a body fluid.
