- ArticleYu RK, Manuelidis EE.J Neurol Sci. 1978 Jan;35(1):15-23.Gangliosides were isolated from guinea pig brains at the end stages of experimental Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. Quantitative analyses revealed marked decreases of ganglioside levels in pathologically devastated tissues such as cerebral cortex (-21%), basal ganglia and thalamus (-18%), and brain stem (-23%). The cerebellum revealed only minor pathological abnormalities and its ganglioside level remained unchanged. Thin-layer chromatography of the Creutzfeldt-Jakob brain gangliosides showed aberrant ganglioside patterns in all regions studied, including the cerebellum. With some exceptions, a trend in ganglioside pattern changes was detected which consisted of proliferation of GM3, GD3, GD2 and loss of GM1, GD1a, GD1b and GT1b.
