General description

Disialoganglioside GD2 is a cell surface-associated glycosphingolipid, which comprises sialic acid moiety and is regarded as a carbohydrate antigen.. It is expressed in the skin melanocytes, central and peripheral nervous system.
Gangliosides are major constituents of neuronal cell membranes and endoplasmic reticulum; contain a sialated polysaccharide chain linked to ceramide through a β-glycosidic linkage; for classification of gangliosides see Svennerholm, L., et al. (eds.), Structure and Function of Gangliosides, New York, Plenum, 1980.

Application

Disialoganglioside-GD2 from bovine brain has been used:
  • in the ganglioside- enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)
  • in capture ELISA with anti-GD2 antibody (ch14.18)
  • as a control to test its effect on reactivating autophagy in primary fibroblasts

Biochem/physiol Actions

Disialoganglioside GD2 is expressed in neuroblastoma, melanoma and small cell lung cancer. It is an immunotherapeutic target and is also regarded as a tumor-associated antigen. GD2 may favor cell migrationin tumors by promoting cell growth, as well as extracellular matrix component attachment.

In the development of novel immune therapies for high-risk cancers, one goal is to find tumor targets that are not widely shared by normal cells. One such target is the surface disialoganglioside GD2. This antigen is expressed on the surface

Neuroblastoma (NB) is the most common extracranial solid tumor in children. Combining passive immunotherapy with an antibody to the disialoganglioside GD2 (ch14.18/SP2/0) and cytokines with 13-cis-retinoic acid for post-myeloablative maintenance therapy increased survival in high-risk NB, but the overall prognosis

The disialoganglioside GD2, a carbohydrate antigen, is expressed on all tumors of neuroectodermal origin, including melanoma, neuroblastoma, sarcoma and small cell lung cancer. Due to its specific expression on tumor surfaces, GD2 is an attractive target for immunotherapies. The mouse/human

Survival outcomes for patients with high-risk neuroblastoma (NB) have significantly improved with anti-disialoganglioside GD2 mAb therapy, which promotes NK cell activation through antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity. NK cell activation requires an interaction between inhibitory killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIRs) and HLA

O-Acetyl-GD2 ganglioside is suitable antigen for tumor immunotherapy with specific therapeutic antibody. Here, we investigate the anti-tumor activity of O-acetyl-GD2-specific monoclonal antibody 8B6 on O-acetyl-GD2-positive tumor cells. The results indicated that mAb 8B6 induced growth inhibition of O-acetyl-GD2-expressing tumor cell
