Description
A mixture of ganglioside GM1 asialo with C18:1 and C20:1 sphingoid backbones; a component of cellular lipid rafts; a glycolipid receptor for P. aeruginosa flagellin; ligation stimulates defensive reponses in host cells including extracellular ATP release, calcium mobilization, and ERK1/2 phosphorylation; the percentage of ganglioside GM1 asialo-positive NK and CD8+ T cells in lung is increased in a mouse model of RSV infection compared with healthy animals; depletion of ganglioside GM1 asialo-positive NK and T cells reduces IFN-γ levels in the lung, reduces weight loss, and increases lung viral load in RSV-infected mice
