Application
Monosialoganglioside GM3 from canine blood has been used as a reference standard in high-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC) to analyze ganglioside signatures of prostate cancer (CaP) cells. It has also been used to determine ganglioside-binding profiles of methylotrophic yeast (Pichia pastoris) secreted cholera toxin B subunit (PpCTB) by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
Biochem/physiol Actions
Monosialoganglioside GM3 has a potential role in cancer development and progression. Increased expression of GM3 has been observed in various types of cancer. Hence, it is used as a tumor-associated carbohydrate antigen during cancer vaccine development.
Monosialoganglioside-GM3 is the most common ganglioside and the major ganglioside in non-neuronal cell membranes. It inhibits epidermal cell growth and is involved in the biosynthesis and metabolism of all higher gangliosides.
General description
Gangliosides are major constituents of neuronal cell membranes and endoplasmic reticulum. They contain a sialated polysaccharide chain linked to ceramide through a β-glycosidic linkage. For classification of gangliosides see Svennerholm, L., et al. (eds.), Structure and Function of Gangliosides, New York, Plenum, 1980.

Prior development of a unique androgen-receptor (AR)-negative cell line (HH870) from organ-confined (T2b) human prostate cancer (CaP) enabled comparison of the gangliosides associated with normal and neoplastic prostate epithelial cells, organ-confined versus metastatic (DU 145, PC-3), and AR-negative versus AR-positive

T cells autoreactive to the antigen-presenting molecule CD1a are common in human blood and skin, but the search for natural autoantigens has been confounded by background T cell responses to CD1 proteins and self lipids. After capturing CD1a-lipid complexes, we
