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.
Reactivity
Mouse, Rat
Antibody Type
Polyclonal
Host Species
Rabbit
Immunogen
Asialo-GM1
Formulation
Lyophilized powder. Endotoxin level is <0.01 EU/µg of the protein (<0.001 ng/µg of the protein) as determined by the LAL test.
Preparation
Reconstitute with 1 ml sterile deionized, distilled, endotoxin-free water. Gamma globulin fraction of serum was precipitated using 50% ammonium sulfate followed by dialysis with phosphate buffered saline.
The antibody solution should be stored undiluted between 2°C and 8°C. This Ultra-LEAF™ solution contains no preservative; handle under aseptic conditions.
Each lot of this antibody is quality control tested by immunofluorescent staining with flow cytometric analysis. Optimal staining for flow cytometry may vary from lot-to-lot. This antibody has been reported to deplete NK cells in vivo. A usage of 50 µl per mouse is recommended, but optimal usage will vary depending on the strain of mouse and experimental conditions2-4. It is recommended that the reagent be titrated for optimal performance for each application.
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.
