Abstract

Several monosialogangliosides containing the type A-active epitope have been detected in type A erythrocytes on immunological analysis with a monoclonal antibody, and three of them were purified by repeated silica bead column chromatography and by scraping from the TLC plate. Two of these A-active gangliosides were characterized by methylation analysis by GC/MS, negative SIMS, MALDI-TOF/MS, proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and immunological assays, and their structures were concluded to be as follows. A-active ganglioside I:A-active ganglioside II:The reactivity of the purified gangliosides to the anti-A monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) exhibited enhancement after removal of the sialic acid. Therefore, the sialic residue has been shown to inhibit the binding to the terminal A-active epitope through the formation of an immune complex. To confirm the presence of A- (including S-A-I, -II and -III) and B-active gangliosides, the reactivity of anti-A and -B mAbs were investigated using total gangliosides from type A, -B and -AB erythrocytes on TLC plate. The results were that the gangliosides from types A and AB showed positive reaction to anti-A mAbs, whereas in the anti-B mAbs binding the gangliosides from types B and A...Continue Reading
