Biochemistry of Glycolipids

Diagnosis value of membrane glycolipids biochemistry index in intracranial and gastrointestinal tumors.

The diagnostic value of membrane glycolipid biochemistry index, the lipid-bound sialic acid (LSA) and total sialic acid (TSA) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) was evaluated in 30 intracranial and 65 gastrointestinal tumors. The plasma LSA, TSA and red cell membrane sialic acid (R-SA) in were determined according to the method of Sevenmerhulm. Our results showed that the levels of LSA and TSA in CSF...

Detection of Antibodies against Glycolipids

To investigate whether antecedent cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections in patients with Guillain-Barre syndrome are associated with the presence of specific antiganglioside antibodies, acute phase serum samples from 130 patients with Guillain-Barre syndrome and 200 controls were tested. Anti-GM2 IgM antibodies were found more often in patients with Guillain-Barre syndrome with CMV infection (22%) t...

Glycolipids anchor laminin

Boundary proteomics pecialized regions of chromatin flank the edges of transcriptionally silent DNA, separating it from euchromatin. For example, such boundary elements insulate the silent mating type loci ( HMR and HML ) in yeast. The molecular nature of these boundaries has remained obscure. Now, Tackett et al. (page 35) have identified protein complexes that are important for maintaining suc...
