Abstract: This invention describes ways of obtaining nano-particulated adjuvants formed by different synthetic variants of GM3 ganglioside. Depending on the fine structure of the fatty acid in the ceramide of the synthetic GM3, said adjuvants are able to stimulate specifically and in a specialized way the humoral or cellular immune response against accompanying antigens. Particularly, this invention provides immunogenic vaccine compositions that comprise peptides, polypeptides or proteins and the aforementioned nanoparticles, which are formed through the dispersion of hydrophobic proteins of the outer membrane complex (OMC) of Neisseria meningitidis in solutions containing fully synthetic variants of the GM3 ganglioside.

Abstract: Systems, assemblies, and methods to enhance the efficiency of operation of a gas turbine engine may include a turbine housing positioned to at least partially enclose the gas turbine engine, and a filtration assembly connected to the turbine housing to supply at least partially filtered intake air to an air inlet assembly associated with the gas turbine engine.
