Abstract: The machine has a housing with a truncated cone-shaped breaker tool (4,4'), enclosed by a breaker jacket (5,5'), to define a breaker chamber (6,6'), all of defined dimensions. For larger sizes of appliance, the breaker diameter is increased, but the height (h) of the breaker chamber remains mainly the same, independent of breaker tool and jacket diameters, across a series determined by capacity, and corresponds approx. to the height of the smallest breaker within that series. The narrowness of the breaker chamber between intake and discharge is approx. the same for all sizes within a series. The distance between the center of gravity of the breaker tool and the bearing points of a breaker shaft, remains mainly the same with increasing breaker size.

Abstract: The invention relates to the finding that virus like particles (VLPs) can be loaded and packaged, respectively, with DNA oligonucleotides rich in non-methylated C and G (CpGs). If such CpG-VLPs are mixed with antigens, the immunogenicity of these antigens are dramatically enhanced. In addition, the T cell responses against the antigens are especially directed to the Th1 type. Surprisingly, no covalent linkage of the antigen to the VLP is required; it is sufficient to simply mix the VLPs with the adjuvants for co-administration. In addition, it was found that VLPs did not enhance immune responses unless they were loaded and packaged, respectively, with CpGs. Antigens mixed with CpG-packaged VLPs may therefore be ideal vaccines for prophylactic or therapeutic vaccination against allergies, tumors and other self-molecules and chronic viral diseases.
