Abstract
Status of tumor progression (either remaining in situ, or becoming invasive/metastatic) may be defined largely by subtle interactions ('cross-talk') in a microenvironment formed by interfacing tumor cell and host cell membrane domains (termed 'glycosynapses') involved in glycosylation-dependent cell adhesion and signaling. Functional roles of tumor-associated gangliosides, organized in glycosynapses of three types of tumor cell lines, are discussed. Gangliosides function as adhesion receptors or as 'sensors' that can be stimulated by antibodies, with consequent activation of signal transducers leading to enhanced motility and invasiveness.

Abstract
Two human mammary carcinoma cell variants, MCF-7/AZ and MCF-7/6, show the same composition in their glycosphingolipid-enriched microdomain (GEM) with regard to globo-series structures Gb3, Gb4, Gb5, monosialyl-Gb5, GM2, and cSrc and FAK. Both variants are non-invasive into collagen gel layer, and showed similar motility in wound migration assay. Whereas invasiveness and motility of MCF-7/AZ cells were enhanced greatly by treatment with mAb RM1 directed to monosialyl-Gb5, the same RM1 treatment had no effect on MCF-7/6. cSrc and FAK of MCF-7/AZ, but not MCF-7/6, were activated by RM1 treatment. Thus, malignancy of MCF-7 is highly dependent on monosialyl-Gb5, and its activation of cSrc and FAK in GEM.

Abstract
A novel glycosphingolipid containing a long chain aldehyde conjugated to galactose and glycerol, Gro1(3)-O-CH((CH(2))(n)CH(3))-O-6Galbeta-sphingosine (glyceroplasmalopsychosine) has been studied by NMR spectroscopy (Hikita et al. J. Biol. Chem. 2001, 276, 23084-23091). We further report here on the conformation showing the galactose and the glycerol at the end of two parallel hydrophobic chains, i.e. the sphingosine and the fatty aldehyde. This is proposed based on the interproton distances derived from ROESY experiments and 3 J (H,H) coupling constants. The absence of any intraresidual NOEs between protons in the glycerol residue suggested that the C-C-2 and C-C-3 bonds in the glycerol may be rotating freely, supporting the proposed conformation in which the unique terminal glycerol is in an environment with a minimal steric hindrance. The present study proposes a conformation of glyceroplasmalopsychosine greatly different from the two conventional plasmalopsychosines possessing a fatty aldehyde chain oriented in an opposite direction to the sphingosine.

Tetraspanin CD9 is a "proteolipid," and its interaction with alpha 3 integrin in microdomain is promoted by GM3 ganglioside, leading to inhibition of laminin-5-dependent cell motility. J Biol Chem 2002; 277:34349-58.

Abstract
GM3 ganglioside inhibits tetraspanin CD9-facilitated cell motility in various cell lines (Ono, M., Handa, K., Sonnino, S., Withers, D. A., Nagai, H., and Hakomori, S. (2001) Biochemistry 40, 6414-6421). We now report the following: (i) CD9 has the novel feature of being soluble in chloroform/methanol, and classifiable as "proteolipid"; (ii) CD9 and alpha(3) integrin were concentrated together in the low-density glycolipid-enriched microdomain (GEM) of ldlD/CD9 cells, and the alpha(3) expression ratio (value for cells grown under +Gal condition divided by the value for cells grown under -Gal condition) in GEM of ldlD/CD9 cells was higher than that in control ldlD/moc cells, suggesting that CD9 recruits alpha(3) in GEM under +Gal condition, whereby GM3 is present. (iii) Chemical levels of alpha(3) and CD9 in the total extract or membrane fractions from cells grown under +Gal versus -Gal condition were nearly identical, whereas alpha(3) expressed at the cell surface, probed by antibody binding in flow cytometry, was higher under -Gal than +Gal condition. These results suggest that GM3 synthesized under +Gal condition promotes interaction of alpha(3) with CD9, which restricts alpha(3) binding to its antibody. A concept of the alpha(3)/CD9 interaction promoted by GM3 was further supported by (i) co-immunoprecipitation of CD9 and alpha(3) under +Gal but not -Gal condition, (ii) enhanced co-immunoprecipitation of CD9 and alpha(3) when GM3 was added exogenously to cells under -Gal condition, and (iii) the co-localization images of CD9 with alpha(3) and of GM3 with CD9 in fluorescence laser scanning confocal microscopy. Based on the promotion of alpha(3)/CD9 interaction by GM3 and the status of laminin-5 as a true ligand for alpha(3), the laminin-5/alpha(3)-dependent motility of ldlD/CD9 cells was found to be greatly enhanced under -Gal condition, but strongly inhibited under +Gal condition. Such a motility difference under +Gal versus -Gal condition was not observed for ldlD/moc cells. The inhibitory effect observed in ldlD/CD9 cells under +Gal condition was reversed upon addition of anti-alpha(3) antibody and is therefore based on interaction between alpha(3), CD9, and GM3 in GEM.

Abstract
During the course of studies on natural occurrence of sphingosine base in brain, cationic glycosphingolipids bound to carboxymethyl-Sephadex and eluted with triethylamine in organic solvents were isolated and characterized. Four classes of compounds were identified: (i) plasmalopsychosine-A and -B; (ii) glyceroplasmalopsychosine; (iii) glycosphingolipids having de-N-acetyl-hexosamine, e.g., de-N-acetyl-Lc3Cer; (iv) glycosylsphingosine, i.e., lysoglycosphingolipid. Only two kinds, galactosylsphingosine (psychosine) and lactosylsphingosine, were found to occur naturally in brain. All these compounds were isolated from extract of brain white matter. Their occurrence, quantity, and distribution pattern differ from one species to another. Their quantity is much lower than that of regular acidic and neutral glycosphingolipids. They may interact with regular glycosphingolipids in glycosphingolipid-enriched microdomains to elicit signal transduction, to modify cellular phenotype, although studies along this line are highly limited at this time.

Abstract
KDNalpha2-->3Galbeta4Glcbeta1Cer [(KDN)GM3] is a major (approximately 90%) component of total gangliosides found in sperm of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and was shown to be present prominently at the sperm head by immunochemical staining with its specific mAb kdn3G. Liposomes containing (KDN)GM3 adhere specifically to GalNAcbeta4Galbeta4Glcbeta1Cer (Gg3Cer)-coated plastic plates. Interaction between (KDN)GM3 and Gg3Cer was much stronger than that previously observed between Neu5Acalpha2-->3Galbeta4Glcbeta1Cer and Gg3Cer. (KDN)GM3-Gg3Cer interaction did not require the presence of Ca2+ and Mg2+, but was enhanced in the presence of Mn2+. Fresh trout sperm adhered specifically to Gg3Cer-coated plates under physiological conditions, and the binding was inhibited by pretreatment of sperm with mAb kdn3G. The presence of Gg3 or Gg3-related epitope structure in the specific area surrounding the micropyle, through which sperm enter the egg, was confirmed by immunogold labeling under electron microscopy. These findings suggest that initial sperm-egg adhesion during the process of fertilization occurs when sperm adhere to the area surrounding the micropyle through specific interaction between (KDN)GM3 on the sperm head and Gg3 epitope (GalNAcbeta4Galbeta1-->) expressed at a defined region of the egg surface membrane.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Two types of transitional bladder carcinoma have been distinguished based on macroscopic morphology: type A papillary carcinomas, with papillomatous surface outgrowth without infiltration into muscular layer, and type B nodular carcinomas, with a nonpapillomatous surface appearance, most of which display infiltrative growth through muscular layer, and some of which display lymphatic or blood-borne metastasis. However, there is no specific predictor at early stages for later invasive and metastatic clinical outcome of patients with type B tumors. METHODS The study included 1) glycosphingolipid (GSL) composition of type A and B tumors; 2) histologic and immunohistologic patterns of nodular (type B) bladder carcinoma from 44 patients based on a special sampling procedure termed whole-layer core biopsy (WLCB) using the antisialosyl-Le(x) (anti-SLe(x); SLe(x): NeuAcalpha3Galbeta4[Fucalpha3]GlcNAcbeta3Galbeta4GlcCer) SNH3 antibody or other antibodies; 3) comparison of the incidence of metastasis in patients with SNH3 positive versus SNH3 negative primary tumors and of 5-year survival curves; 4) comparison of bladder carcinoma cell lines from tumors with high versus low malignancy in terms of expression patterns of SLe(x), SLe(a), and other carbohydrates, E-selectin dependent adhesion, and transcript levels of five fucosyltransferases. RESULTS Anti-SLe(x) monoclonal antibody (mAb) SNH3 staining of WLCB samples from 44 type B tumors showed that the majority of tumors (n = 31 patients) were SNH3 positive and the minority (n = 13 patients) were SNH3 negative. SNH3 positive patients had more lymph node or blood-borne metastasis and lower 5-year and 7-year survival rates, as indicated by Kaplan-Meier curves (P = 0.001). Staining of samples with other antibodies, including FH6 and CA19-9, was not correlated with long-term survival. Determination of GSL composition in extracts showed that SLe(x) ganglioside was present in all three patients with nodular tumors but absent in all three patients with papillary tumors tested. Bladder carcinoma cell lines from invasive tumors that maintained their metastatic properties were SNH3 positive, showed high levels of alpha1,3-fucosyltransferase VI (FT-VI) and FT-VII, and displayed E-selectin dependent adhesion. Cell lines from noninvasive tumors or normal bladder epithelia were negative for SNH3 reactivity, FT-VI, and FT-VII, and E-selectin dependent adhesion. CONCLUSIONS SLe(x) expression in primary bladder carcinoma, defined by the mAb SNH3, is a predictor of invasive and metastatic outcome. No other carbohydrate epitope examined to date has equal prognostic value.

Abstract
We reported previously that non-invasive bladder cancer expresses high level of GM3 ganglioside, whereas invasive tumors have low levels. Since glycosphingolipid synthesis in Golgi is modified greatly by a macrocyclic lactone isolated from fungi, brefeldin A (BFA), we studied effects of BFA on expression of glycosphingolipids and on invasiveness of bladder cancer cell lines. Only GM3 synthesis in invasive tumors was greatly enhanced upon treatment with BFA; synthesis of other glycosphingolipids with lacto-series type 2 or globo-series structure in both invasive and non-invasive tumors was not changed. Invasiveness of bladder cancer cells was greatly decreased in association with the great increase of GM3 synthesis induced by BFA treatment. Level of sialyl-Lex expressed in invasive cell line YTS1, which provides the adhesive property of the cells to E-selectin, was unchanged upon BFA treatment. All the bladder cancer cell lines, regardless of invasiveness, highly express tetraspanin CD9. GM3 has been implicated as a co-factor of CD9 in control of tumor cell motility. Down-regulation of CD9 is associated with metastatic properties of tumor cells and survival of patients with colonic cancer. Therefore, enhanced synthesis of GM3 induced by BFA, causing decrease of invasiveness in bladder cancer, is ascribable to the capability of GM3 to interconnect integrin with CD9, in analogy to colonic cancer and perhaps many other types of cancer.

Abstract
Two mucin-type glycoproteins, MUC-1 and P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1 (PSGL-1), and glycosphingolipids (GSLs), expressed in human T-cell line HUT78, were highly enriched in low-density buoyant fraction (termed "GEM"), together with CD45, Yes, Fyn, and lck(56). Enrichment of MUC-1, PSGL-1 and GSLs, together with these signal transducer molecules in low-density membrane fraction was observable when fraction was prepared from cells either in nonionic detergent Brij 58 or in hypertonic alkaline conditions (500 mM Na(2)CO(3)). On pretreatment of cells with cholesterol-binding reagent methyl beta-cyclodextrin, levels of MUC-1 and PSGL-1 together with the above signal transducers in GEM was greatly reduced, and they were translocated into high-density membrane fraction. Similar association of lck(56), Yes, Fyn, and cSrc together with MUC-1 was also found in GEM fraction of mouse T-cell lymphoma EL4 cells expressing MUC-1 through transfection of its gene. These findings indicate the presence of another glycosyl cluster ("glycocluster"), in addition to the previously well-established GSL cluster organized with signal transducer molecules in GEM fraction, and its possible functional role in T-cells.

Abstract
The importance of analogues of lactosyl ceramides as basic structures of many natural glycosphingolipids provided a rationale for developing an efficient synthetic route to these compounds. We report herein a novel approach to synthesize several members of this family. Glycosylation of N-diphenylmethylene-spingosine, which exists in an imine-oxazolidine tautomeric mixture, with acetobromolactose under a modified Koenigs-Knorr condition yielded lactosyl beta-(1 --> 1) sphingosine, lactosyl beta-(1 --> 3) sphingosine and dilactosyl sphingosine in good yields. A similar glycosylation could be applicable to the synthesis of other glycosphingolipids.

Abstract
Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) has been characterized by high expression of three types of disialogangliosides: two based on lacto-series type 1 structure (disialosyl Lc(4), GalNAc disialosyl Lc(4)), the other based on globo-series structure (disialosyl globopentaosylceramide; disialosyl Gb5). The present study established a mAb, 5F3, directed to disialosyl Gb5. 5F3 was established after immunization with RCC cell line ACHN. The major disialoganglioside antigen isolated from ACHN cells, showing specific reactivity with 5F3, was characterized unequivocally as disialosyl Gb5 (V(3)NeuAcIV(6)NeuAcGb5) by identification of the core structure as globopentaosylceramide (Gb5) after enzymatic and acid hydrolysis, and by 2-dimensional (1)H-NMR spectroscopy. 5F3 does not react with monosialosyl Gb5 (V(3)NeuAcGb5), Gb5, or any lacto-series structures. 5F3 strongly stained 19 of 41 cases of primary RCC tissue. It reacted with proximal tubules (but not distal tubules) of kidney, microglial cells of cerebrum and cerebellum, goblet cells of stomach and intestine, smooth muscle of various organs. It did not react with parenchymatous cells of various organs, except for kidney epithelia and prostate stroma. Immunostaining of RCC tissue by mAb 5F3, in combination with staining by other antibodies directed to globo-series and lacto-series structures, has prognostic significance in defining metastatic potential of RCC.

Abstract
The alpha1,3-fucosyltransferase IV (FucTIV) encoded by its gene (FUTIV) is responsible for synthesis of Le(x) (Galbeta4[Fucalpha3]GlcNAcbeta3Galbeta1,R), which causes compaction in the morula stage of the preimplantation mouse embryo, as well as alpha1,3-fucosylation at multiple internal GlcNAc of unbranched poly-N-acetyllactosamine, termed "myeloglycan," the physiological epitope of E-selectin. Since myeloglycan-type structure is also expressed in various types of human cancer and may mediate E-selectin-dependent metastasis, expression of FUTIV is oncodevelopmentally regulated. The mechanisms controlling FUTIV expression remain to be clarified. In this report, we further characterize FUTIV gene structure and define a non-TATA box-dependent transcriptional start region just upstream from the translational start. FUTIV promoter/reporter fusion constructs defined a "full-length" promoter and highly active fragments in the macrophage-derived U937 and myeloid HL60 cell lines. One highly active fragment contains a consensus binding site for the Ets-1 transcription factor (Withers, D. A., and Hakomori, S. (1997) Glycoconj. J. 14, 764). Gel shift analysis shows specific binding to this site in nuclear extracts from U937 cells. Mutation of the Ets consensus site significantly reduces FUTIV promoter activity in both cell lines. Gel supershift and dominant negative cotransfection experiments identified the Ets family member Elk-1 as one component binding and regulating the FUTIV promoter in U937 cells. The significance of FUTIV regulation by Elk-1 is discussed.

Abstract
Glycosphingolipids (GSLs) and sphingomyelin in animal cells are clustered and organized as membrane microdomains closely associated with various signal transducer molecules such as cSrc, Src family kinases, small G-proteins (e.g., RhoA, Ras), and focal adhesion kinase. GSL clustering in such microdomains causes adhesion to complementary GSLs on the surface of counterpart cells or presented on plastic surfaces, through carbohydrate-to-carbohydrate interaction. GSL-dependent cell adhesion in microdomain causes activation of the signal transducers, leading to cell phenotypic changes. A retrospective of the development of this concept, and current status of our studies, are presented.

Abstract
Women with a history of recurrent Escherichia coli urinary tract infections (UTIs) are significantly more likely to be nonsecretors of blood group antigens than are women without such a history, and vaginal epithelial cells (VEC) from women who are nonsecretors show enhanced adherence of uropathogenic E. coli isolates compared with cells from secretors. We previously extracted glycosphingolipids (GSLs) from native VEC and determined that nonsecretors (but not secretors) selectively express two extended globoseries GSLs, sialosyl galactosyl globoside (SGG) and disialosyl galactosyl globoside (DSGG), which specifically bound uropathogenic E. coli R45 expressing a P adhesin. In this study, we demonstrated, by purifying the compounds from this source, that SGG and DSGG are expressed in human kidney tissue. We also demonstrated that SGG and DSGG isolated from human kidneys bind uropathogenic E. coli isolates expressing each of the three classes of pap-encoded adhesins, including cloned isolates expressing PapG from J96, PrsG from J96, and PapG from IA2, and the wild-type isolates IA2 and R45. We metabolically 35S labeled these five E. coli isolates and measured their relative binding affinities to serial dilutions of SGG and DSGG as well as to globotriaosylceramide (Gb3) and globotetraosylceramide (Gb4), two other globoseries GSLs present in urogenital tissues. Each of the five E. coli isolates bound to SGG with the highest apparent avidity compared with their binding to DSGG, Gb3, and Gb4, and each isolate had a unique pattern of GSL binding affinity. These studies further suggest that SGG likely plays an important role in the pathogenesis of UTI and that its presence may account for the increased binding of E. coli to uroepithelial cells from nonsecretors and for the increased susceptibility of nonsecretors to recurrent UTI.

Abstract
Employing a new procedure, we established many monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) which inhibit E- or P-selectin-dependent cell adhesion. One of these mAbs is capable of staining selectin in paraffin-embedded histological sections. The procedure is based on immunization of BALB/c mice with irradiated mouse myeloma NS-1 cells (syngeneic HAT-sensitive fusion partner cells) transfected with cDNA encoding human E- or P-selectin. Resulting NS-1 transfectant cells permanently express human E- or P-selectin as immunogen. The mAbs are useful for detecting selectins by flow cytometric and immunohistological methods, and for inhibiting selectin-dependent adhesion in experimental models. In contrast, the majority of anti-selectin mAbs previously established do not have these capabilities.

Abstract
The biochemical basis of cell motility has been viewed as a complex process involving cell surface membrane proteins, integrin receptors, growth factors and their receptors, and cytoskeletal components [Rosen & Goldberg (1989) In Vitro 25, 1079]. The possible involvement of glycoconjugates at the cell surface in controlling cell motility has not been systematically investigated. We addressed this question using functional monoclonal antibodies (MAbs), which inhibit cell motility and the metastatic potential of tumor cells, as probes. Two such MAbs, derived from two independent processes of immunization and selection, were found to directed to a common specific carbohydrate structure, Fuc alpha 1----2Gal beta 1----R. MAb MIA-15-5 was established after immunization of mice with small cell lung carcinoma line PC7 and selected on the basis of inhibition of U937 and HEL cell migration. MAb MIA-22-20 was established after immunization with lung adenocarcinoma line MAC-10 and selected on the basis of inhibition of MAC-10 cell migration. These two MAbs were both IgM and were consistently reactive with the Fuc alpha 1----2Gal beta 1----R structure, regardless of the identity of the R group. Various other anti-H MAbs, specific to carrier isotype, did not affect cell motility. MAb MIA-15-5 reacted with 30-40% of high-metastatic variant BL6 of mouse melanoma B16 line but with only less than 5% of low-metastatic variant F1. Metastatic deposition to lung after injection of BL6 cells was inhibited if MAb MIA-15-5 was injected within 3 h but was not inhibited by injection of other anti-H antibodies under the same conditions.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Carbohydrate structures are often involved in the initial adhesion of pathogens to target cells. In the present study, a panel of anticarbohydrate monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) was tested for their ability to inhibit in vitro human immunodeficiency virus infectivity. MAbs against three different N- and O-linked carbohydrate epitopes (LeY, A1, and sialyl-Tn) were able to block infection by cell-free virus as well as inhibit syncytium formation. Inhibition of virus infectivity was independent of virus strain (HTLVIIIB or patient isolate SSI-002), the cell line used for virus propagation (H9 or MT4), and the cell type used as the infection target (MT4, PMC, or selected T4 lymphocytes). Inhibition was observed when viruses were preincubated with MAbs but not when cells were preincubated with MAbs before inoculation, and the MAbs were shown to precipitate 125I-labeled gp120. The MAbs therefore define carbohydrate structures expressed by the viral envelope glycoprotein gp120, indicating that glycans of the viral envelope are possible targets for immunotherapy or vaccine development or both.

Abstract
Carbohydrate-specific monoclonal antibodies were used to demonstrate the expression of a new membrane glycoprotein on F9 murine embryonal carcinoma cells. Sialyl LeX was detected using monoclonal antibody FH6 in a sensitive, cell monolayer radioimmunoassay. The antigen codistributed in gel filtration of a crude homogenate and in a membrane-enriched fraction with two known lactosaminoglycan markers, i and SSEA-1 (LeX or X hapten). Sialyl LeX was further shown to be carried by a novel glycoprotein, termed small lactosaminoglycan-like glycoprotein (sLAG) which could be purified by immunoaffinity chromatography. In two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis this glycoprotein had an apparent molecular weight of 45 kDa and a pI of about 6.5. The more differentiated cell line PYS-2 also expressed sialyl LeX and i antigens but not LeX, and FH6-reactive sLAG could be extracted from PYS-2 membranes. Sialylation of fucosylated type 2 carbohydrate chains (X haptens) thus may be an early modification of embryonic carbohydrate antigens.

Abstract
The effects of castanospermine on various parameters associated with transformation were examined in cells expressing the viral oncogene v-fms. Fischer rat embryo (FRE) cells transformed by the oncogene v-fms and grown in the presence of castanospermine reverted to a more normal cell morphology and accumulated fms protein within the endoplasmic reticulum. Treated cells attained contact inhibition of cell growth at a much lower cell density compared to the untreated controls. No effect of castanospermine on cell growth was observed for FRE cells transformed by a different oncogene v-fgr. Castanospermine-treated SM-FRE (v-fms transformed) cells reexpressed extracellular matrix fibronectin and exhibited an extensive actin-containing cytoskeleton similar to that of normal nontransformed FRE cells. Castanospermine treatment of SM-FRE cells resulted in a sixfold decrease in [3H]deoxyglucose uptake compared to that of the nonreverted SM-FRE cells. Again, no effect was observed in FRE cells transformed by the oncogene v-fgr (GR-FRE). These results further characterize the reversion caused by castanospermine and indicate that cell surface expression coordinately controls anchorage independent growth, cell morphology, contact inhibition of growth, and hexose uptake.

Abstract
Monoclonal antibodies A5 and C6 have been reported previously to recognize developmentally regulated determinants involving N-acetyllactosamine [Fenderson B. A., O'Brien D. A., Millette C. F. and Eddy E. M. (1984) Devl Biol. 103, 117-128]. In the present study, the specificity of these antibodies was determined by solid-phase radioimmunoassay and by thin-layer chromatography immunostaining using purified glycolipid standards. Antibody A5 recognized N-acetyllactosamine (type 2 chain; Gal beta 1----4GlcNAc beta 1----3R), irrespective of branching status. In contrast antibody C6 recognized the binary N-acetyllactosamine structure carried on lactoisooctaosylceramide. Antibody C6 did not react with sialosyl or alpha-galactosyl derivatives of the isooctaosyl structure, including human G10, G8 and bovine G9. Thus, unlike other anti-I antibodies, C6 provides a specific probe for both branching status and absence of terminal chain modification. Monoclonal antibodies A5, C6 and anti-I(Ma) were used to investigate glycosylation changes associated with oncogenic transformation. In contrast to results with lectins, these antibodies preferentially labeled the major glycoproteins of SV40-transformed human embryonic lung fibroblasts, including GP80, GP180, GP200 and GP250. The results suggest that increased expression of unsubstituted polylactosamine core structure at the cell surface follows SV40-transformation.

Abstract
The reactivities of eight purified preparations of carcinoembryonic antigen with monoclonal antibodies directed to tumor-associated carbohydrate determinants have been studied. All eight preparations showed strong reactivities with AH6, which defines Y structure (Fuc alpha 1----2Gal beta 1----4[Fuc alpha 1----3] GlcNAc beta 1----R), whereas only a few preparations showed reactivity with FH4-defining dimeric X determinants, (Gal beta 1----4 [Fuc alpha 1----3]GlcNAc beta 1----3Gal beta 1----4 [Fuc alpha 1----3]GlcNA beta 1----3Gal beta 1----R). No other antibodies tested showed any reactivity with these preparations. These carbohydrate markers associated with carcinoembryonic antigen will be useful to enhance the diagnostic value of the antigen.

Abstract
Using an anti-Pk monoclonal antibody (mAb) designated CPK-1, the expression of the Pk antigen was assessed on normal human tissue from non-Pk individuals. Although the Pk antigen was detected on fibroblasts and blood vessels as previously reported, it was also found on smooth muscle cells of the digestive tract and the urogenital system. Pk was also found on glandular cells of the stomach, oesophagus and prostate. Additionally, CPK-1 reacted weakly with oesophagus squamous cells, and a small number of glomeruli and tubules in the kidney. The mechanism of expression of the Pk determinant in non-Pk individuals is discussed.

Abstract
Three monoclonal antibodies, PMN 6, PMN 29, and PM-81, bind myeloid cells. Antibodies PMN 6 and PMN 29 bind specifically to granulocytes but differ in their ability to bind some other cell lines [E. D. Ball, R. F. Graziano, L. Shen, and M. W. Fanger (1982) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 79, 5374-5378]. Antibody PM-81, in addition to granulocytes, also binds to eosinophils, monocytes, and most acute myelocytic leukemia cells [E. D. Ball, R. F. Graziano, and M. W. Fanger (1983) J. Immunol. 130, 2937-2941]. Despite these differences, the binding of all three antibodies to cells was inhibited by the oligosaccharide, lacto-N-fucopentaose III [Gal beta 1-4(Fuc alpha 1-3)GlcNAc beta 1-3Gal beta 1-4Glc]. Solid-phase radioimmunoassays using purified glycolipids containing sugar sequences found in lacto-N-fucopentaose III demonstrated different binding characteristics for each antibody. PM-81 bound lower concentrations of glycolipids than PMN 29, while PMN 6 required the highest concentration of glycolipids for binding. Autoradiography of thin-layer chromatograms of glycolipid antigens supported these results. The binding of these monoclonal antibodies to cells probably depends on the density of antigens on the cell surface, each antibody requiring a different density. Thus, cells containing antigen below a certain threshold concentration may not bind low-affinity antibodies.

Abstract
1G10, a monoclonal IgM antibody that identifies a differentiation antigen on human granulocytes and a subpopulation of monocytes, was found to react specifically with glycosphingolipids bearing the Gal beta 1-4(Fuc alpha 1-3)GlcNAc hapten (X determinant). This carbohydrate determinant was found on both glycolipid and glycoprotein molecules isolated from HL-60 cells (a promyelocytic leukemia cell line). Thus, this highly conserved carbohydrate-defined determinant previously described on mouse embryonic and mouse and human carcinoma cells is also expressed as a tissue-specific differentiation antigen on normal human granulocytes.

Abstract
Growth of mouse lymphoma L5178Y, which contains large quantitites of the gangliotriosylceramide (GgOs3Cer), in DBA/2 mice was suppressed by passive immunization with monoclonal immunoglobulin G3 antibodies to GgOS3Cer, but not by immunoglobulin M antibodies with or without added complement. Most groups of mice treated with monoclonal immunoglobulin G3 antibodies did not develop tumors, but the tumor that appeared in a treated animal had a much lower amount of the GgOS3Cer than the cells used for inoculation. Thus, passive immunization either prevented growth of the lymphoma or caused selection of a variant with a lower quantity of the antigen GgOS3Cer.

Abstract
The extent and the specificity of the initial cell attachment induced by various proteins coated on plastic surfaces have been studied with the following results: (a) Cell adhesion on the surfaces coated with sialidase and beta-galactosidase was as strong as on concanavalin A and limulus lectin-coated surfaces and the reactions were strongly inhibited by glycosidase inhibitors or by competitive substrates. The adhesion on sialidase was inhibited by 2-deoxy-2,3-dehydro-N-acetylneuraminic acid and by polysialoganglioside (GT1b) at low concentration (0.05-0.1 mM). The cell adhesion on beta-galactosidase coat was inhibited by 1,4-D-galactonolactone and beta-methylgalactoside but not by alpha-methylgalactoside. Thus, the initiation of cell adhesion on glycosidase surfaces could be mediated through the interactions of the specific binding sites of the enzyme surface with the cell surface substrates under physiological conditions. (b) Cell adhesion on various lectins could be blocked by various competing monosaccharides at the concentrations similar to the inhibitory concentrations for binding of lectins from solution to the cells. (c) Cell adhesion on fibronectin surfaces as well as on gelatin-coated surfaces was equally inhibited by GT1b at relatively high concentrations (0.25-0.5 mM). Lower concentrations of GT1b (0.05-0.1 mM) inhibited the cell adhesion on surfaces of Limulus lectin and sialidase. It is suggested that the cell adhesion mediated by fibronectin is based on yet unknown interactions in contrast to a specific cell adhesion through glycosidases and lectins.

Abstract
The kinetics of cell attachment and cell spreading on the coated surfaces of two classes of carbohydrate-reactive proteins, enzymes and lectins, have been compared with those on fibronectin-coated surfaces with the following results: (a) A remarkable similarity between the kinetics of cell attachment to fibronectin-coated and glycosidase-coated surfaces was found. In contrast, cell attachment kinetics induced by lectin- and galactose oxidase-coated surfaces, in general, were strikingly different from those on fibronectin and glycosidase surfaces. The distinction between fibronectin- or glycosidase- and lectin- or galactose oxidase (an enzyme with lectin-type characteristics)-coated surfaces was further supported by the finding that cytochalasin B and EDTA inhibited cell attachment to fibronectin- and glycosidase-coated surfaces but not lectin-coated surfaces. (b) Fibronectin, if labeled and added to a cell suspension, showed only low or negligible interaction with the cell surface. However, fibronectin absorbed on plastic surfaces showed a high cell-attaching activity. It is assumed that fibronectin coated on plastic surfaces may form polyvalent attachment sites in contrast to its lower valency in aqueous solution. (c) Various inhibitors of cell attachment to both fibronectin-, galactose oxidase-, and lectin-coated surfaces were effective only during the first few minutes of the adhesion assay, after which time the attached cells became insensitive to the inhibitors. It is suggested that the initial specific recognition on either lectin-type or fibronectin-type surfaces is followed by an active cell-dependent attachment process. The primary role of the adhesion surface is to stimulate the cell-dependent attachment response. (d) Cells attached on tetravalent concanavalin A (Con A) spread very rapidly and quantitatively, whereas divalent succinyl Con A and monovalent Con A were effective stimulators of cell attachment but not cell spreading. Cross-linking of succinyl Con A restored the cell spreading activity. Tetravalent Con A surfaces specifically bind soluble glycoproteins, whereas succinyl Con A has a greatly reduced ability to bind the same glycoproteins. These results suggest that cross-linking of cell surface glycoproteins by the multivalent adhesive surface may trigger the cellular reaction leading to cell spreading.

Abstract
The occurrence of alpha-mannosidase activity at the surface of hamster embryo (NIL) fibroblasts is indicated by the following findings: (a) When NIL cells were incubated on the glass surfaces on which ovalbumin glycopeptides were covalently linked, a rapid release of free mannose from ovalbumin glycopeptides was observed as evidenced by analysis on gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. (b) Cell suspensions as well as intact cell monolayers hydrolyzed rapidly p-nitrophenyl-alpha-D-mannoside, and the time-course of the hydrolytic cleavage was linear from the moment of mixing of the substrate with the cells. The hydrolysis of the nitrophenyl glycosides of beta-D-mannose, alpha-D-galactose, beta-D-galactose, alpha-L-fucose, beta-D-glucose, beta-D-N-acetylgalactosamine and beta-D-N-acetylglucosamine was negligible or more than ten times lower as compared with the hydolysis of alpha-D-mannoside. (c) No released or secreted activity of mannosidase could be detected under the conditions used. (d) Studies using known proportions of broken cells in the incubation mixture indicated that more than 90 percent of the mannosidase activity measured was attributable to intact cells and not to broken cells or cell fragments. (e) Hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl-alpha-D-mannoside by cell monolayers was inhibited, in the order of decreasing inhibitory activity, by yeast mannan, ovalbumin, alpha-1,4-L-mannonolactone, alpha-methylmannoside, and mannose-6-phosphate. High inhibitory activity of the mannan polysaccharide and of ovalbumin favored the presence of the mannosidase activity at the cell surface, as these substrates may not penetrate rapidly into the cells. The following findings indicated that the cell surface mannosidase is mediating the cell adhesion based on the recognition of high-mannose-type glycopeptide: (a) Ovalbumin- coated plastic surfaces strongly promoted attachment and spreading of NIL fibroblasts, whereas the same ovalbumin coat did not promote attachment and spreading of some other cell types (BALB/c 3T3 fibroblasts and freshly prepared rat liver cells). (b) Digestion of ovalbumin with alpha-mannosidase greatly reduced the adhesion-mediating activity. (c) Cell adhesion to ovalbumin-coated surfaces was strongly inhibited by mannose tetrasaccharides, moderately by alpha-1,4-L-mannonolactone, and weakly by alpha- methylmannoside and mannose-6-phosphate. This order of the inhibitory activity for cell attachment is the same as that for the inhibition of mannosidic hydrolysis. The interpretation that the cell surface mannosidase is able to mediate cell adhesion is in agreement with previous studies suggesting that polyvalent glycosidase surfaces can promote cell adhesion to a degree similar to that caused by fibronectin and several lectins by interacting with their cell surface substrate site (the accompanying papers of this series).

Abstract
Hybrid cells formed between human lymphocytes and mouse myeloma cells produce human immunoglobulin in culture. Stable antibody-producing cell lines can be isolated after multiple cycles of low-density passage, cloning, and continued selection for immunoglobulin production. The origin and characteristics of a hybrid of human and mouse cells is described. This hybrid produces high concentrations (8.3 micrograms per milliliter) of human immunoglobulin M reactive with the terminal disaccharide of the Forssman glycolipid. These findings point to the potential use of human-mouse hybrid cells as a source of human monoclonal antibodies for therapeutic and diagnostic purposes.

Abstract
The BCG-induced NK cell activity of murine peritoneal exudate cells was abolished by preincubation of effector cells with anti-ganglio-N-tetraosylceramide (anti-asialo GM1) and C but not with other anti-glycolipid antibodies, anti-ganglioside GM1, anti-globoside, and anti-ganglio-N-triosylceramide (anti-asialo GM2). In contrast, the cytotoxic activity of alloimmune T cells was not affected by treatment with anti-asialo GM1 antisera. These findings suggest that asialo GM1 display may be characteristic of NK cell populations and aid in the isolation of this population of cytotoxic cells.
