- Extra Details:
- Ganglioside GQ1b is a sialic acid-containing glycosphingolipid that has been found in myelin of the oculomotor nerves and dorsal root ganglia, as well as neuromuscular spindle fibers. It is found on the plasma membrane, where it is anchored by the ceramide moiety with the sialylated oligosaccharide on the extracellular side. In axonal myelin, it helps to stabilize the paranodal region in the node of Ranvier. Ganglioside GQ1b is similar in shape to lipo-oligosaccharides (LOS) on the membrane of certain pathogens, including the bacterium C. jejuni. Due to this similarity, autoantibodies against ganglioside GQ1b can be formed during infection with C. jejuni. Autoantibodies against ganglioside GQ1b are found in the cerebrospinal fluid in a majority of patients during the acute phase of Miller-Fisher syndrome, a rare variant of Guillain-Barré syndrome characterized by eye movement abnormalities, impaired coordination and tendon reflex loss. Applications: Suitable for use in ELISA, Immunofluorescence and TLC. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilutions: ELISA: 1:500-1:1000 Immunofluorescence: 1:10-1:50 TLC: 1:500 Optional dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
