Abstract
The present invention is directed to a method of treating individuals infected with HIV or at risk of being infected with HIV. The method comprises the step of administering to an individual infected with HIV or at risk of being infected with HIV, an effective amount of a phosphoaminolipid extract derived from bacteria. The phosphoaminolipid extract exhibits an immunomodulating effect in humans, promoting a stabilization or improvement in immune system function.
Claims16
A method of treating a subject infected with human immunodeficiency virus comprising:
- administering to a subject infected with human immunodeficiency virus an immunomodulating phosphoaminolipid extract derived from bacteria of the genus Psuedomonas aeruginosa in an amount effective to cause at least one of the outcomes selected from the group consisting of:
- (a) an increase in CD4.sup.+ cells in the subject;
- and
- (b) a reduction in the levels of circulating human immunodeficiency virus in the subject.
A method for treating a subject infected with human immunodeficiency virus comprising:
- administering to a subject in need of such treatment a Pseudomonas aeruginosa ethanol extract in an amount effective to increase CD4.sup.+ cell count in the subject, wherein the extract is 88-92% phospholipid and aminolipid, 3-5% sugar and 5-7% protein.
A method for treating a subject infected with human immunodeficiency virus comprising:
- administering to a subject in need of such treatment a Pseudomonas aeruginosa ethanol extract in an amount effective to reduce levels of circulating human immunodeficiency virus in the subject, wherein the extract is 88-92% phospholipid and aminolipid, 3-5% sugar and 5-7% protein.
A method for treating a subject infected with human immunodeficiency virus comprising:
- administering to a subject in need of such treatment a Pseudomonas aeruginosa ethanol extract in an amount effective to prevent for a period of at least 10 weeks weight loss in the subject.
A method for treating a subject infected with human immunodeficiency virus comprising:
- administering to a subject in need of such treatment a Pseudomonas aeruginosa ethanol extract in an amount effective to cause at least two of the outcomes selected from the group consisting of
- (a) an increase in CD4.sup.+ cells in the subject;
- (b) a reduction in the levels of circulating human immunodeficiency virus in the subject;
- and
- (c) prevention of weight loss for at least 10 weeks in the subject, wherein the extract is 88-92% phospholipid and aminolipid, 3-5% sugar and 5-7% protein.
