Description

GM1 is a ganglioside, a type of glycosphingolipid with a single sialic acid group. Asialo-GM1 is a GM1 derivative without a sialic acid group. It is expressed on NK cells, basophils, monocytes/macrophages, and T cells. It is particularly expressed on very early thymocytes, but the expression decreases as the cells mature and become Thy-1+. The highest expression is detected on neuronal tissues. This molecule has been shown to be involved in microbial pathogenesis. Antibodies specific for Asialo-GM1 are elevated in dementia, lupus, and Guillain-Barré syndrome.

Application Notes

This antibody recognizes asialo-GM1. It does not react with other glycolipids, such as GM1 and Asialo-GM2.

This antibody can partially block IL-12 induced IFN-? production but does not affect other systemic action of IL-12. 


This product may contain other non-IgG subtypes.
