Substantial concentrations of the cell-surface glycosphingolipid, the disialoganglioside GD2, are uniformly present in human neuroblastoma tumors. This ganglioside can also be detected in the plasma of patients with neuroblastoma by direct thin-layer chromatographic analysis. Among 32 neuroblastoma

Gangliosides are shed in substantial amounts by some tumors, including human neuroblastoma, and these molecules modulate experimental tumor formation in vivo. We now demonstrate that neuroblastoma tumor gangliosides have potent immunoregulatory activity. Gangliosides of every one of 17 tumors studie
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
