Abstract excerpt
Sulfoglucuronyl carbohydrate linked to neolactotetraose reacts with HNK-1 antibody. The HNK-1 carbohydrate epitope is found in two major glycolipids, several glycoproteins and in some proteoglycans of the nervous system. Most of the HNK-1 reactive glycoproteins so far identified are neural cell adhesion molecules and/or are involved in cell-cell interactions. HNK-1 carbohydrate is highly immunogenic. Several...
