Abstract Glycosphingolipids (GSLs), cell type-specific markers which change dramatically
during ontogenesis and oncogenesis, have been implicated as playing major roles in …

Neuraminic acid is the core structure of most known sialic acids. In natural systems, the
amino group at the 5 position of neuraminic acid residues is usually assumed to be acylated …

Sialic acid-containing glycosphingolipids, or gangliosides, are hybrid molecules composed
of a hydrophilic sialyl oligosaccharide and a hydrophobic ceramide moiety, the latter …

When human promyelocytic leukemia cell line HL-60 was treated with various differentiation-
inducers, apoptosis always occurred after the full appearance of differentiation-related …

Sphingomonas paucimobilis, a Gram-negative opportunistic pathogen, is actively
phagocytosed by humanperipheral polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) in vitro. However …

Although the ceramide components of both glycosphingolipids (GSLs) and sphingomyelin
(SM) in HL-60 cells were identical, the molecular species of the ceramides preferentially …

Transformation of D-glucose, 2-O-, 3-O-and 4-O-linked disaccharides 6, 7 and 35 to the
corresponding cyclohexanone alcohols 1a b, 17, 18, 29, 30 and 36 and 36 respectively is …

Revised Manuscript Received February 27, 1995® abstract: Murine interleukin-3 (IL-3)-
associated expression of gangliosides has been investigated using a gene transfection …

The ganglioside GD3 has a variety of biological functions. These include stimulatory effects

Several hundreds of sphingoglycolipids in nature have been identified so far, and their
chemical structures and metabolism have been well elucidated. Their biological relevance …
