Using a vaccine preparation administered by aerosol for respiratory anti-infectious purposes and corresponding to the original formula of ribosomes and membrane fractions of microbial germs, the authors investigated during a period of nine months whether an objective, transient or lasting stimulation of the total and specific immunoglobulin (Ig) appeared. They provide a statistical analysis based on several serum Ig measurements and demonstrate the stimulant and lasting effect of the vaccine in the production of specific Ig for a sample of patients compared with controls. In those treated they observed apparently disordered variations of the serum levels of the total Ig, which in fact correspond to the initiation of a dynamic equilibrium in relation to the immunogenicity of the vaccine, the initial level of the total Ig and the production of the specific Ig. Finally, after a booster sequence carried out five month after "primary vaccination", they established the restarting of production of specific Ig accompanied this time by a different dynamic response of the total Ig.
