Title of Invention

A VACCINE COMPOSITION AND METHOD OF PRODUCING THE SAME

Abstract

A method for producing a vaccine containing an immunogenic determinant, comprising the steps of: exposing extra-cellular pathogenic organisms to stress-inducing stimuli which would induce the production of stress protein/antigenic peptide fragment complexes; extracting the endogenous streass-induced products form the treated organisms; and using the extracted products as the immunogenic determinant in the preparation of the vaccine composition.

The invention is based on defining different subscriber profiles having different attributes and associating subscriber information with an indi¬cation of which profile to use with this subscriber. The advantages of the invention are that the service providers can customize their prepaid service without changing the basic service structure by giving different profiles to the subscribers. Thus customizing and changing customized services are very easy. In one embodiment of the invention the attribute is a deposit func¬tion. A further advantage of this embodiment is that other features than the voucher value may also be taken into account when calculating a new credit. In still another embodiment of the invention the attribute is an ex¬piry function. The further advantage of this embodiment is that other features than the voucher validity time may also be taken into account when calculating new expiry dates. Accordingly, the present invention provides a method for customizing a prepaid service in a telecommunications system, the method comprising the steps of maintaining subscriber information on at least one prepaid subscriber, characterized by defining at least two different prepaid profiles, each prepaid profile defining at least one attribute for the prepaid service; associating the subscriber"s subscriber information with one prepaid profile so that the subscriber information indicates to the telecommunications system the prepaid profile which to use with this subscriber, providing, by the telecommunications system, the prepaid service to the subscriber as indicated by the attribute defined in the prepaid profile associated with the subscriber"s information. The present invention also provides telecommunications system offering prepaid subscription services, the system comprising at least one database having subscriber information on at least one prepaid subscriber, characterized in that the system comprises means for maintaining at least two different prepaid profiles, each prepaid profile defining at least one attribute for the prepaid service; means for associating the subscriber"s subscriber information with one prepaid profile so that the subscriber information indicates to the system the prepaid profile which to use with this subscriber; and means for providing a prepaid service to the subscriber as indicated by the attribute defined in the associated prepaid profile. Brief description of the figures The invention will be described in further detail in the following by means of preferred embodiments with reference to the accompanying draw¬ings, in which Figure 1 is a block diagram showing some relevant network ele¬ments; Figure 2 is a block diagram illustrating different profiles according to a first preferred embodiment; Figure 3 is a flow chart illustrating subscriber provisioning; and Figure 4 is a flow chart illustrating the functionality of the invention during recharge. Detailed description of the invention Figure 1 is a block diagram of a telecommunications system S equipped with an arrangement according to a preferred embodiment of the in¬vention. The telecommunications network is assumed to be a public land mo¬bile network PLMN yet without limiting the invention to that kind of particular network. The invention can be used in any telecommunications systems, where prepaid subscribers have subscription information stored in the system. A prepaid subscriber refers here to a subscriber using prepaid subscription, i.e. a subscriber who has paid in advance. The embodiment illustrated in Fig¬ure 1 makes use of Intelligent Network technology. An intelligent network IN is WE CLAIM : 1. A method for customizing a prepaid service in a telecommunications system, the method comprising the steps of maintaining subscriber information on at least one prepaid subscriber, characterized by defining at least two different prepaid profiles, each prepaid profile defining at least one attribute for the prepaid service; associating the subscriber"s subscriber information with one prepaid profile so that the subscriber information indicates to the telecommunications system the prepaid profile which to use with this subscriber, providing, by the telecommunications system, the prepaid service to the subscriber as indicated by the attribute defined in the prepaid profile associated with the subscriber"s information. 2. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the associating is carried out during subscription provisioning. 3. The method as claimed in claim 1 or 2, wherein the subscriber information is updated during recharge as defined in the prepaid profile. 4. The method as claimed in claim 1, 2 or 3, wherein the attribute being a deposit fiinction defining how to calculate the credit during recharge. 5. The method as claimed in claim 1, 2 or 3, wherein the attribute being an expiry function defining how to calculate the validity time of the prepaid credit. 6. The method as claimed in claim 1, 2 or 3, wherein the attribute being an expiry state handling function defining how the possibilities of a subscriber are limited over time when no recharge is carried out. 7. A method for customizing a prepaid service in a telecommunications system substantially as herein described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
