Abstract: | Heterophile, Hanganutziu-Deicher (HD) antigen-active N-glycolylneuraminic acid-containing glycosphingolipids (GSLs) were detected as tumor-associated foreign antigens of a Marek's disease lymphoma-derived cell line, MSB1, by enzyme-immunoassay with chicken antibody against N-glycolylneuraminyl-lactosylceramide (anti-NeuGc-LacCer). At least three species of HD antigen-active GSLs were detected by two-dimensional thin-layer chromatography (TLC) combined with enzyme-immunoassay. The reactivities of the GSLs with anti-NeuGc-LacCer, their behaviors on two-dimensional TLC and the results of an endo-beta-galactosidase digestion study indicated that these three GSLs were NeuGc-LacCer (NeuGc alpha 2-2Gal beta 1-4Glc-Cer), NeuGc-nLcOse4Cer (NeuGc alpha 2-3Gal beta 1-4GlcNAc beta 1-3Gal beta 1-4Glc-Cer) and NeuGc-nLcOse6Cer (NeuGc alpha 2-3Gal beta 1-4GlcNAc beta 1-3Gal beta 1-4GlcNAc beta 1-3Gal beta 1-4Glc-Cer). |
