Gangliosides as Receptors for Bacterial Toxins and Sendai Virus

  • Chapter
Structure and Function of Gangliosides

Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology ((AEMB,volume 125))

Abstract

Gangliosides have recently attracted considerable interest as candidate receptor structures for various bacterial toxins, viruses, interferon and glycoprotein hormones. Speculations about a receptor role for gangliosides have occurred for more than two decades but it was first with the more recent work on cholera toxin that such a function could be shown.
