Abstract excerpt
Previous studies have indicated that globotriaosyl ceramide (Gb3 or CD77) plays a role in alpha-interferon signal transduction and CD19-mediated homotypic adhesion in B cell lines derived from Burkitt's lymphoma. These roles for Gb3 may involve the proteins IFNAR-1 (subunit 1 of the interferon-alpha receptor) and CD19, respectively, both of which have potential Gb3-binding sites in their extracellular domains...
