Ganglioside Composition of an Experimental Mouse Brain Tumor1

The ganglioside composition of an experimental ependymoblastoma was examined in C57BL/6 mice. This tumor was produced by Dr. H. Zimmerman in 1949 from methylcholanthrene implantation in the brain and has been maintained in serial transplants through many generations. The influence of tumor environment on ganglioside composition was determined by studying the tumor growing intracerebrally and s....

Simplified ganglioside composition of photoreceptors compared to other retinal neurons.

PURPOSE The quantitative and qualitative ganglioside composition of retinal photoreceptor cells is unknown. The aim of this study was to analyze the lipid, especially ganglioside, make-up of photoreceptors compared to other retinal cells. METHODS Retinas from adult normal rats were mechanically separated into outer (photoreceptors) and inner (other retinal neurons and glia) halves be planar v...

Changes in ganglioside composition of photoreceptors during postnatal maturation of the rat retina.

To examine at which stage the unusual ganglioside composition observed in adult retinal photoreceptor cells was established, and to see whether ganglioside changes could be correlated to distinct maturational events, quantitative and qualitative variations in gangliosides within pure sheets of photoreceptors during postnatal differentiation and aging of retina were studied. Retinas were separat...
