Titration of serum anti-ganglioside antibodies in patients with chronic medular injury previous to treatment with GM1 ganglioside [PDF]
Anti-ganglioside serum titers were evaluated by ELISA in 150 patients with complete spinal cord lesion for 6 to 12 months (IgG monosialo GM1, IgM monosialo GM1, IgG asialo GM1, IgM asialo GM1, IgG disialo GD1b e IgM disialo GD1b) prior to treatment with ...

Bovine lactoferrin decreases cholera-toxin-induced intestinal fluid accumulation in mice by ganglioside interaction. [PDF]
Secretory diarrhea caused by cholera toxin (CT) is initiated by binding of CT's B subunit (CTB) to GM1-ganglioside on the surface of intestinal cells. Lactoferrin, a breast milk glycoprotein, has shown protective effect against several enteropathogens ...

Host factors determine anti-GM1 response following oral challenge of chickens with Guillain-Barré syndrome derived Campylobacter jejuni strain GB11. [PDF]
BackgroundAnti-ganglioside antibodies with a pathogenic potential are present in C. jejuni-associated Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) patients and are probably induced by molecular mimicry.

GM1-gangliosidosis is a progressive neurodegenerative glycosphingolipidosis resulting from a GLB1 gene mutation causing a deficiency of the lysosomal enzyme β-galactosidase, which leads to the abnormal accumulation of GM1 ganglioside in the central ...

Gangliosides and the Treatment of Neurodegenerative Diseases: A Long Italian Tradition
Gangliosides are glycosphingolipids which are particularly abundant in the plasma membrane of mammalian neurons. The knowledge of their presence in the human brain dates back to the end of 19th century, but their structure was determined much later, in ...

The interaction of amyloid A beta(1-40) with lipid bilayers and ganglioside as studied by P-31 solid-state NMR [PDF]
Amyloid P-peptide (A beta) is a major component of plaques in Alzheimer's disease, and formation of senile plaques has been suggested to originate fro m regions of neuronal membrane rich in gangliosides. We analyzed the mode of interaction of A beta with

Preparation of lyso-GM1 (II3Neu5AcGgOse4-long chain bases) by a one-pot reaction.
A simple procedure is described for preparing lyso-GM1, a GM1 derivative that lacks the fatty acid moiety, starting from GM1 ganglioside using a one-pot reaction. Ganglioside deacylation was carried out in KOH/propan-1-ol in the absence of oxygen.

C1q-targeted inhibition of the classical complement pathway prevents injury in a novel mouse model of acute motor axonal neuropathy [PDF]
Introduction Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is an autoimmune disease that results in acute paralysis through inflammatory attack on peripheral nerves, and currently has limited, non-specific treatment options.
