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: A method for collecting diagnostic information associated with an error is disclosed. In one embodiment, such a method includes detecting an error condition associated with mirroring data from a primary volume to a secondary volume. In response to detecting the error condition, the method modifies various diagnostic parameters to improve collection of diagnostic information. The method then immediately re-drives the data from the primary volume to the secondary volume. This will ideally recreate the error. Upon recreating the error, the method captures diagnostic information associated with the error in accordance with the modified diagnostic parameters.
