Numerous immunochemical methods are now available for the detection of antibodies to gangliosides. An amplified ELISA method for detection of autoantibodies to NGcGM3 ganglioside in the sera of patients with various type of renal diseases was developed. IgM antibodies were found in 39 out of 53 sera of patients using 30 normal healthy blood donor as a negative control. For human IgG conjugate no reactivity to NGcGM3 was seen in the sera. Positive ELISA results were confirmed by TLC-immunostaining using GM3, NGcGM3, NGcGM2 and Standard bovine gangliosides (GM1, GD1a, GD1b and GT1b). All sera were also assayed for reactivity with GM3 in ELISA to determine the line specificity of these antibodies. Based on these results, a protocol for a sensitive and reproducible amplification ELISA system for serum anti-NGcGM3 antibodies in patients with renal or other diseases is presented. The ELISA method described here in appear to be useful adjunt to measure antiNGcGM3 antibodies in sera of patients with various type of renal or other diseases.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D002855 Chromatography, Thin Layer Chromatography on thin layers of adsorbents rather than in columns. The adsorbent can be alumina, silica gel, silicates, charcoals, or cellulose. (McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms, 4th ed) Chromatography, Thin-Layer,Thin Layer Chromatography,Chromatographies, Thin Layer,Chromatographies, Thin-Layer,Thin Layer Chromatographies,Thin-Layer Chromatographies,Thin-Layer Chromatography
D004797 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.

D005679 G(M3) Ganglioside A ganglioside present in abnormally large amounts in the brain and liver due to a deficient biosynthetic enzyme, G(M3):UDP-N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase. Deficiency of this enzyme prevents the formation of G(M2) ganglioside from G(M3) ganglioside and is the cause of an anabolic sphingolipidosis.

D015203 Reproducibility of Results The statistical reproducibility of measurements (often in a clinical context), including the testing of instrumentation or techniques to obtain reproducible results. The concept includes reproducibility of physiological measurements, which may be used to develop rules to assess probability or prognosis, or response to a stimulus; reproducibility of occurrence of a condition; and reproducibility of experimental results.
