Asialo-GM1 (ASGM1) has been identified as a cell surface marker of murine NK cells. Although polyclonal anti-asialo-GM1 antibodies (anti-ASGM1 pAb) have been widely used for studying natural killer (NK) cell functions in vivo, the technical challenges have existed in their specificity for NK cell depletion. Furthermore, the exact expression of ASGM1 on the NK cell lineage and other immune cells has not been characterized due to the lack of appropriate reagents.

In addition to immunosuppression, it is generally accepted that myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC) also support tumor angiogenesis. The tryptophan-catabolizing enzyme indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO1) has been implicated in promoting neovascularization through its positioning as a key regulatory node between the inflammatory cytokines IFNγ and IL6. Here, we report that within the heterogeneous expanse of Gr-1 MDSCs, both IDO1 expression and the ability to elicit neovascularization were associated with a minor subset of autofluorescent, CD11b cells.

The present study aimed to elucidate the role of cluster of differentiation (CD)8+, CD4+, natural killer (NK), and myeloid (CD11b+) cells in the course of the growth and rejection of experimental major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I-deficient, HPV16 E6/E7-associated TC-1/A9 tumors in mice. Stable mouse lines (F) generated by inbreeding of Balb/c and C57BL/6 strains, which were characterized by H-2Db+d-NK1.1neg (B6-neg) and H-2Db-d+NK1.

Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are seen as an ideal source of cells to induce graft acceptance; however, some reports have shown that MSCs can be immunogenic rather than immunosuppressive. We speculate that the immunomodulatory effects of regulatory T cells (Tregs) can aid the maintenance of immunoregulatory functions of MSCs, and that a combinatorial approach to cell therapy can have synergistic immunomodulatory effects on allograft rejection. After preconditioning with Fludarabine, followed by total body irradiation and anti-asialo-GM-1(ASGM-1), tail skin grafts from C57BL/6 (H-2k(b)) mice were grafted onto the lateral thoracic wall of BALB/c (H-2k(d)) mice.

Recombinant activated factor VII (rFVIIa; NovoSeven®) is a heterogeneously glycosylated serine protease used for treatment of haemophiliacs with inhibitors. The drug substance contains a subpopulation consisting of ~20% of rFVIIa molecules which are unsialylated and consists of carbohydrate moieties with terminally exposed galactose and N-acetyl-D-galactosamine (GalNAc). Recently, data from an in situ perfused liver model showed that a subpopulation of rFVIIa, appearing to be unsialylated rFVIIa, was cleared by the liver, thus suggesting a carbohydrate-moiety mediated mechanism.
