Abstract
Described are derivatives of glycolipids with substituted steroids bridged via a medium length hydrocarbon chain to 1-thio-D-mannopyranoses or 1-thio-L-fucopyranoses. These compounds protect an immunocompromised human or animal host against opportunistic infection by virtue of their immunostimulant properties.
