ABSTRACT:
Disclosed are uses of Gangliosides GM1and/or asialo-GM1substances simulating the carbohydrate portion of said gangliosides with regard to bonding to anti-GM1antibodies and/or anti-ADM1antibodies for producing agents which bind or block anti-GM1antibodies and/or anti-AGM1antibodies which bond to natural killer cells (NKC) or for blocking antigen-presenting cells and producing a T-cell anergy, and for producing an affinity material for the extracorporeal removal of anti-GM1antibodies and/or anti-AGM1antibodies in order to prevent, inhibit, and treat malignant cancers.
