Use of N-dichloroacetyl lysogangliosides for the selective modulation of the expression and function of CD4 determinants on the cell surface

摘要

Use of N-dichloroacetyl lysogangliosides, such as N-dichloroacetyl lyso GM₁, in the manufacture or preparation of a pharmaceutical formulation for selectively modulating the CD₄ determinant present on the surface of human cells. This modulation can be used therapeutically to treat neuroimmunopathological conditions or neuroimmunopathology associated with infection by viruses such as the HIV-I virus.
