  • Title: Studies on the glycolipids of sheep thymus and of normal and concanavalin A-stimulated sheep peripheral lymphocytes.
    Author: Narasimhan R, Hay JB, Greaves MF, Murray RK.
    Journal: Biochim Biophys Acta; 1976 Jun 22; 431(3):578-91. PubMed ID: 949491.
    Abstract:
    The neutral glycolipids and gangliosides of sheep thymus and of sheep peripheral lymphocytes were compared. The patterns of both of these major classes of glycolipids were more complex in thymus than in the lymphocytes. The incorporation of radioactivity from D-[1-14C]galactose into the individual glycolipids of control and concanavalin A-stimulated sheep peripheral lymphocytes was also studied. A marked enhancement of incorporation into trihexosylceramide and an alteration of the pattern of incorporation into gangliosides were noted in the mitogen-treated cells. The results suggest that significant alterations of glycolipid composition and metabolism may occur during at least certain stages of lymphocyte differentiation.
