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.
