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. CM101 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. Pre-existing neural injuries having scar tissue are ameliorated by surgical excision of the scar tissue in conjunction with administration of CM101.
