Abstract: Immunological compositions and methods for making and using them. The compositions contain at least one antigen and at least one lipoprotein and optionally an adjuvant. The lipoprotein can itself be antigenic or immunogenic. The antigen can be influenza HA and the lipoprotein a recombinantly expressed product having an OspA leader for lipidation and PspA for the protein portion. The antigen can be OspC and the lipoprotein OspA. The components of the composition are co-administered. A potentiated immunological response is obtained by the compositions and methods.

Abstract: An electronic device for monitoring the cold chain of a product, which measures the temperature, carries out the product of the measured temperature by a determined coefficient depending on the temperature, successively adds the products and records the running total obtained, and which includes a visual control. The measuring of the temperature is carried out at regular time intervals.

Abstract: The invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition intended for inducing in a host mammal a protective immune response against an antigen, at a mucosal effector site, which comprises at least two identical or different products each containing an inducing agent for the immune response, selected from the antigen and, provided the antigen is protein in nature, an expression cassette capable of expressing the antigen, for a concomitant or consecutive administration; one of the products being formulated so as to be administered via the nasobuccal route so that the inducing agent is targeted to the inducer site(s) for an immune response in the naso-oropharynx or the salivary glands, the other product being formulated so as to be administered via a suitable mucosal route other than the nasal route, so that the inducing agent is targeted to the inducer site(s) for an immune response at the effector site at which the immune response is sought.
