Abstract:
Two monoclonal antibodies, HD 66 and CRIS-4, by which the new CD 76 B-cell-associated cluster was defined, bound to several gangliosides (sialic acid containing glycolipids) of different polarity. One of the gangliosides recognized by HD 66 could be identified as NeuAc alpha 2-6Gal beta 1-4GlcNAc beta 1-3Gal beta 1-4Glc-beta 1-1'Cer. This antigen was enzymatically synthesized. Sialidase treatment of the ganglioside antigens abolished binding of HD 66 and CRIS-4.
