Mutant NG108-15 cells (NG-CR72) deficient in GM1 synthase respond aberrantly to axonogenic stimuli and are vulnerable to calcium-induced apoptosis: they are rescued with LIGA-20.

Abstract excerpt

The neuroblastoma x glioma NG108-15 hybrid cell line, a widely used model for the study of neuronal differentiation, contains a variety of gangliosides including GM1 and its sialosylated derivative, GD1a. To investigate the role of these a-series gangliotetraose gangliosides in neuritogenesis, we...
