Chemical and Immunological Characterization of the Forssman Hapten Isolated from Equine Organs*

Isoantigenic expression of Forssman glycolipid in human gastric and colonic mucosa: Its possible identity with “A-like antigen” in human cancer

“…The aliquots of fraction 5 and fraction 6 glycolipids corresponding to 50 mg of the dry tissue residue were mixed with 100 Ail of 5 mM sphingomyelin, 10 Ml of 50 mM chdlesterol, and 15 (27 (17,29). Much work is necessary to clearly define Forssman * The incidence of 5 cases of F+ against 16 cases of Fi isoantigen may be characteristic of Chinese in Taiwan, and the incidence in other racial groups may well be different.…”

Changes in Surface Antigens of SV40-Virus Transformed Cells

“…An important reactive site for the Forssman antigen resides in the terminal O-aAV-acetylgalactosaminoyl-( 1,3) -galactosyl moiety ( 16). This terminal disaccharide group is nearly identical to that found in human blood group A but is not present on erythrocytes with group B or 0 specificity (see Table IV).…”

Carbohydrate Microarrays for Lectin Characterization and Glyco-Epitope Identification

“…The reactivities of lectin determinants represent a combined result of the binding of individual sugars. It can also be found on the surface of some bacteria, viruses, human gastric carcinoma, and colon tumors [14,15,18,38]. However, the inhibitory profile of the monosaccharides with these two lectins is quite different; Figure 2.…”
