Capping of exogenous Forssman glycolipid on cells
When motile cells are incubated with Forssman glycolipid, the antigen is incorporated into the cells' plasma membranes. If cross-linked by antibody, the patched glycolipids cap. This process is sensitive to those drugs that are known to inhibit capping of protein antigens. The results support a flow mechanism for capping.
متن کاملIsoantigenic expression of Forssman glycolipid in human gastric and colonic mucosa: its possible identity with "A-like antigen" in human cancer.
The heterogenetic Forssman antigen is a glycosphingolipid, a ceramide pentasaccharide with the structure GalNAcalpha1-->3GalNAcbeta1-->3Galalpha1-->4Galbeta1-->4Glc-->ceramide. Forssman-positive animals are capable of synthesizing this compound in tissues or in erythrocytes, in contrast to the Forssman-negative species, including humans, which are incapable of adding the last carbohydrate in th...
متن کاملDirect visualization of redistribution and capping of fluorescent gangliosides on lymphocytes
Fluorescent derivatives of gangliosides were prepared by oxidizing the sialyl residues to aldehydes and reacting them with fluorescent hydrazides. When rhodaminyl gangliosides were incubated with lymphocytes, the cells incorporated them in a time- and temperature-dependent manner. Initially, the gangliosides were evenly distributed on the cell surface but were redistributed into patches and cap...
متن کاملSubcellular localization of Forssman glycolipid in epithelial MDCK cells by immuno-electronmicroscopy after freeze-substitution
Forssman antigen, a neutral glycosphingolipid carrying five monosaccharides, was localized in epithelial MDCK cells by the immunogold technique. Labeling with a well defined mAb and protein A-gold after freeze-substitution and low temperature embedding in Lowicryl HM20 of aldehyde-fixed and cryoprotected cells, resulted in high levels of specific labeling and excellent retention of cellular ult...
متن کاملExpression of Forssman antigen in the post-implantation mouse embryo.
The expression of Forssman antigen on the surface of cells of post-implantation mouse embryos between 5 and 7 1/2 days old and of cells of the gonads from 10 1/2 days has been followed using the monoclonal antiserum M1/22.25. In the early post-implantation embryo a lineage-related distribution is found. The inner cell mass of the blastocyst was previously shown to be Forssman antigen positive a...
