Comparison of GD2 binding capture ELISA assays for anti-GD2-antibodies using GD2-coated plates and a GD2-expressing cell-based ELISA [PDF]
Two assay methods for quantification of the disialoganglioside (GD2)-specific binding activities of anti-GD2 monoclonal antibodies and antibody immunofusion proteins, such as ch14.18 and hu14.18-IL2, were developed. The methods differed in the use of either microtiter plates coated with purified GD2 or plates seeded with GD2-expressing cell lines to ...

Because current mainstream anti-glycolipid GD2 therapeutics for neuroblastoma (NB) have limitations, such as severe adverse effects, improved therapeutics are needed. In this study, we developed a GD2 aptamer (DB99) and constructed a GD2-aptamer-mediated

A herpes simplex virus 2 (HSV-2) glycoprotein D-expressing nonreplicating dominant-negative HSV-2 virus vaccine is superior to a gD2 subunit vaccine against HSV-2 genital infection in guinea pigs. [PDF]
We recently constructed a novel non-replicating dominant-negative HSV-2 recombinant viral vaccine (CJ2-gD2) capable of expressing various HSV-2 antigens that are dominant targets of HSV-2-specific CD8 T-cell response.

Anti-GD2 immunotherapy for neuroblastoma [PDF]
Current therapeutic approaches for high-risk neuroblastoma (HR-NB) include high-dose chemotherapy, surgery and radiotherapy; interventions that are associated with long and short-term toxicities. Effective immunotherapy holds particular promise for improving survival and quality of life by reducing exposure to cytotoxic agents.

Expression of the disialoganglioside GD2 has been identified as a marker antigen associated with a breast cancer stem-like cell (BCSC) phenotype. Here, we report on the evaluation of GD2 as a BCSC-specific target antigen for immunotherapy. GD2 expression

IMMU-55. GD2 IS A MACROPHAGE CHECKPOINT MOLECULE AND COMBINED GD2/CD47 BLOCKADE RESULTS IN SYNERGISTIC EFFECTS AGAINST GD2 POSITIVE MALIGNANCIES [PDF]
Abstract GD2 is a disialoganglioside expressed on a variety of tumors including DIPG, neuroblastoma and osteosarcoma. Anti-GD2 antibodies have demonstrated some success in neuroblastoma and they have either not proven to be effective or have not been evaluated in other GD2 positive malignancies. CD47 is the dominant “Don’t Eat Me” signal

GD2-Targeted Immunotherapy and Radioimmunotherapy [PDF]
Ganglioside GD2 is a tumor-associated surface antigen found in a broad spectrum of human cancers and stem cells. They include pediatric embryonal tumors (neuroblastoma, retinoblastoma, brain tumors, osteosarcoma, Ewing sarcoma, rhabdomyosarcoma), as well as adult cancers (small cell lung cancer, melanoma, soft tissue sarcomas).

Upregulation of Ganglioside GD2 Synthase (GD2S), as a New Putative Cancer Stem Cell Marker in Breast Carcinomas [PDF]
Background: GD2 synthase (GD2S) is the key enzyme required for ganglioside GD2 synthesis. It is commonly expressed in normal tissues and various cancers. Ganglioside GD2 is identified as a breast cancer stem cells (BCSCs) marker that promotes tumorigenesis.

Surface expression of the immunotherapeutic target GD2 in osteosarcoma depends on cell confluency
Background Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T‐cell therapy of pediatric sarcomas is challenged by the paucity of targetable cell surface antigens. A candidate target in osteosarcoma (OS) is the ganglioside GD2, but heterogeneous expression of GD2 limits ...

Neuroblastomas (NBs) almost ubiquitously express the ganglioside GD2. GD2 synthesis is dependent on the key enzyme GD2 synthase. Thus, GD2 synthase transcript may prove to be a potential molecular marker of NB.Seventy-seven NB tumor tissues of all stages, 5 NB cell lines, and 26 normal bone marrows (BMs) and peripheral blood (PBL) samples, as well as ...
