The complex of α-Galactosylceramide plus CD1d binds the NKT cell TCR (T cell antigen receptor).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCAS Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 158021-47-7\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMolecular Weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 858.32\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormula:\u003c\/strong\u003e C50H99NO9\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-indent: -1em; padding-left: 1em;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChemical Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e N-[(2S,3S,4R)-3,4-dihydroxy-1-{[(2S,3R,4S,5R,6R)-3,4,5-trihydroxy-6-(hydroxymethyl)oxan-2-yl]oxy}octadecan-2-yl]hexacosanamide\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-indent: -1em; padding-left: 1em;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSmiles:\u003c\/strong\u003e CCCCCCCCCCCCCC[C@@H](O)[C@@H](O)[C@H](CO[C@H]1O[C@H](CO)[C@H](O)[C@H](O)[C@H]1O)NC(=O)CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-indent: -1em; padding-left: 1em;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInChiKey:\u003c\/strong\u003e VQFKFAKEUMHBLV-BYSUZVQFSA-N\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-indent: -1em; padding-left: 1em;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInChi:\u003c\/strong\u003e InChI=1S\/C50H99NO9\/c1-3-5-7-9-11-13-15-17-18-19-20-21-22-23-24-25-26-27-29-31-33-35-37-39-45(54)51-42(41-59-50-49(58)48(57)47(56)44(40-52)60-50)46(55)43(53)38-36-34-32-30-28-16-14-12-10-8-6-4-2\/h42-44,46-50,52-53,55-58H,3-41H2,1-2H3,(H,51,54)\/t42-,43+,44+,46-,47-,48-,49+,50-\/m0\/s1\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnical Data\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAppearance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Solid Power\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePurity:\u003c\/strong\u003e ≥98% (or refer to the Certificate of Analysis)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-indent: -1em; padding-left: 1em;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShipping Condition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Shipped under ambient temperature as non-hazardous chemical or refer to Certificate of Analysis\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-indent: -1em; padding-left: 1em;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStorage Condition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dry, dark and -20 \u003csup\u003eo\u003c\/sup\u003eC for 1 year or refer to the Certificate of Analysis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-indent: -1em; padding-left: 1em;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShelf Life:\u003c\/strong\u003e ≥12 months if stored properly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-indent: -1em; padding-left: 1em;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStock Solution Storage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0 - 4 \u003csup\u003eo\u003c\/sup\u003eC for 1 month or refer to the Certificate of Analysis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-indent: -1em; padding-left: 1em;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDrug Formulation:\u003c\/strong\u003e To be determined\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHS Tariff Code:\u003c\/strong\u003e 382200\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to use\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIn Vitro:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 1em;\"\u003eCulture supernatants of activated Vα24+NKT-cell cultures stimulated with α-Galactosylceramide pulsed monocyte-derived dendritic cells (Mo-DCs) exhibits antiproliferative activities against melanoma cells. This effect is predominantly due to release of IFN-γ, and to a lesser extent IL-12. Other cytokines, including IL-4 and IL-10, are released but these cytokines have less antiproliferative effects. Vα24+NKT-cells stimulated by α-Galactosylceramide-pulsed Mo-DCs have anti-tumour activities against human melanoma through antiproliferative effects exerted by soluble mediators.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIn Vivo:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 1em;\"\u003eα-Galactosylceramide treatment can protect against spontaneous, carcinogen-, or oncogene-induced primary tumor formation in mice. Consistent with a prime role for IFN-γ in NKT cell-mediated tumor responses, a C-glycoside analog of α-Galactosylceramide that preferentially stimulated IFN-γ production is even more effective than α-Galactosylceramide at preventing metastases of the B16 melanoma. Since α-Galactosylceramide shows a potent antitumor activity and stimulates the lymphocyte proliferation (LP) on allogeneic mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR) in the mouse, α-Galactosylceramide is considered to be a nonspecific immunostimulating agent which is a biological response modifier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducts are for research use only.
