## Abstract We have evaluated the ganglioside composition of 20 primary uveal melanomas, of 2 cell lines derived from 2 uveal melanomas, of a liver metastasis from an uveal melanoma, and 8 of normal choroids. The results show that normal choroid tissue has a ganglioside content similar to the prima

The inability of current therapy to prevent metastases arising from uveal melanoma often results in patient mortality. With the goal of developing a treatment for metastasis, gangliosides were studied as potential tumor-associated antigens. Our report describes the production of a metastatic liver v
Gangliosides appear to be important target molecules for immunological effector mechanisms on neuro-ectodermal tumors. Therefore in vitro studies were performed to examine whether ganglioside GD3, which is highly expressed on the cell surface of cultured human melanoma cells, is being shed into the
## Abstract The immunogenicity of gangliosides found on human melanoma cells was determined from sera of 26 melanoma patients who were immunized every 1โ4 weeks for 4 months with tumorโcell vaccine (TCV) prepared from cultured melanoma cells. Total lipidbound sialic acid in the gangliosides isolate
## Abstract The ganglioside composition of 20 human malignant melanomas and 5 normal tissues (muscle, spleen, kidney, liver and brain) was analyzed by highโperformance thinโlayer chromatography (HPTLC) and immune HPTLC using a panel of antiganglioside monoclonal antibodies, and quantified by photod
