Facilitation of repair of neural injury with CM101/GBS toxin

摘要

Neural injury may be advantageously treated with CM101, a polysaccharide toxin isolated from Group B beta-hemolytic Streptococcus bacteria. CM1O1 treatment aids in the re-establishment of neuronal connectivity, at least partially inhibits scar formation, and increases the probability of survival during the critical period following injury to the central nervous system. Preexisting neural injuries having scar tissue are ameliorated by surgical excision of the scar tissue in conjunction with administration of CM101.
