Abstract:
The monoclonal HNK-1 antibody, a marker for human natural killer cells, strongly reacted with human peripheral nerve gangliosides in the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Autoradiography after the binding of HNK-1 to thin-layer chromatograms of peripheral nerve gangliosides followed by radioiodinated goat anti-mouse IgM revealed that HNK-1 was reacting with a minor ganglioside that chromatographed between GM1 and GD1a. The antigen was insensitive to digestion with neuraminidase and pronase.
