Anti-ganglioside antibodies in patients with Zika virus infection-associated Guillain-Barré Syndrome in Brazil. [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2019 Zika virus infection is associated with the development of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), a neurological autoimmune disorder caused by immune recognition of gangliosides and other components at nerve membranes.

Dysregulated Expression of Glycolipids in Tumor Cells: From Negative Modulator of Anti-Tumor Immunity to Promising Targets for Developing Therapeutic Agents [PDF]
Frontiers in Oncology, 2016 Glycolipids are complex molecules consisting of a ceramide lipid moiety linked to a glycan chain of variable length and structure. Among these are found the gangliosides, which are sialylated glycolipids ubiquitously distributed on the outer layer of ...

Differential distribution of major brain gangliosides in the adult mouse central nervous system. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Gangliosides - sialic acid-bearing glycolipids - are major cell surface determinants on neurons and axons. The same four closely related structures, GM1, GD1a, GD1b and GT1b, comprise the majority of total brain gangliosides in mammals and birds ...

Ganglioside and Non-ganglioside Mediated Host Responses to the Mouse Polyomavirus. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2015 Gangliosides serve as receptors for internalization and infection by members of the polyomavirus family. Specificity is determined by recognition of carbohydrate moieties on the ganglioside by the major viral capsid protein VP1.

Challenges in the Analysis of Gangliosides by LC-MS
CHIMIA, 2022 Gangliosides are a family of conjugates consisting of a polar sialoglycan head group and a hydrophobic ceramide tail. Gangliosides are of high abundance in neuronal tissues and are involved in numerous biological processes, such as cell-cell recognition,

Lipid rafts and human diseases: why we need to target gangliosides
FEBS Open Bio, 2023 Gangliosides are functional components of membrane lipid rafts that control critical functions in cell communication. Many pathologies involve raft gangliosides, which therefore represent an approach of choice for developing innovative therapeutic ...
