The disialogangliosides of WHT/Ht mouse thymomas, which were obtained by subcutaneous transplantation of a thymoma that developed spontaneously in a WHT/Ht mouse, were purified and characterized. From the results of sugar-composition analysis, a permethylation study, enzymatic hydrolysis followed by TLC-immunostaining, negative-ion fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry (FAB/MS), and 1H-NMR spectroscopy, the structure of one of the five purified disialogangliosides was determined to be IV3 alpha(NeuGc alpha 2-8NeuGc)-Gg4Cer. The other 4 disialogangliosides were tentatively characterized on the basis of sialidase treatment followed by TLC-immunostaining with cholera toxin B subunit and anti-Gg4Cer antibody to be IV alpha(NeuAc alpha-NeuGc)-Gg4Cer, IV alpha(NeuGc alpha-NeuAc)-Gg4Cer, IV alpha NeuAc,II3 alpha NeuAc-Gg4Cer, and IV alpha NeuGc,II3 alpha NeuGc-Gg4Cer. In addition, another component exhibiting one spot on TLC was a mixture of IV alpha NeuGc,II3 alpha NeuAc-Gg4Cer and IV alpha NeuAc,II3 alpha NeuGc-Gg4Cer. Then the occurrence of these gangliosides in WHT/Ht mouse thymocytes was examined. As one of two major disialogangliosides, the thymocytes contained IV3 alpha(NeuGc alpha 2-8NeuGc)-Gg4Cer, which was characterized with a mass spectrum and mass chromatograms obtained by micro high-performance liquid chromatography-FAB/MS. The other major disialoganglioside was tentatively characterized to be II3 alpha-(NeuGc alpha-NeuGc)-Gg4Cer by sialidase treatment followed by TLC-immunostaining. A sialidase-susceptible monosialoganglioside, IV3 alpha NeuGc-Gg4Cer [GM1b(NeuGc)], had been reported to be characteristic of mouse immune tissues [Nakamura, K. et al. (1988) J. Biochem, 103, 201-208]. Taken together, the results suggest that the pathway from Gg4Cer to IV3 alpha(NeuGc alpha 2-8NeuGc)-Gg4Cer through GM1b(NeuGc) is quite active in mouse immune tissues.
