This invention teaches a novel treatment of patients infected with influenza virus in early stages of the disease, with liposomes called α-gal / SA liposomes, in order to decrease the infection period and decrease further complications by this disease. The treatment is based on inhalation of biodegradable liposomes that present two types of carbohydrate epitopes: α-Gal epitopes with the structure Galα1-3Galβ1-4(3)GlcNAc-R) and sialic acid (SA) epitopes. The treatment is based on the ability of influenza virus to bind to SA epitopes and on the binding of the natural anti-Gal antibody (the most abundant natural antibody in humans) to α-gal epitopes. Following inhalation of aerosolized α-gal / SA liposomes they land in the mucus lining the respiratory tract. The α-gal / SA liposomes bind influenza virus via SA epitopes interaction with hemagglutinin of the virus, thus they slow or prevent the progress of the influenza virus infection process. Binding of the natural anti-Gal antibody to α-gal epitopes on α-gal / SA liposomes causes complement mediated chemotactic recruitment of macrophages and dendritic cells which internalize via Fc / Fc receptor interaction the α-gal / SA liposomes and the influenza virus bound to them and destroy this virus. The recruited macrophages and dendritic cells further process the immunogenic peptides of the internalized virus, transported them to the regional lymph nodes and present these peptides for eliciting an effective protective immune response that ends the influenza virus infection in a period shorter than in untreated patients and prevents further complications in the respiratory system and in other parts of the body.
