Abstract
125I-Labeled Dolichos biflorus lectin and cholera toxin were used as probes for identification of Forssman- and GM1-type receptor sites on guinea pig tumor (104C1) cell surfaces. Increased binding of 125I-labeled lectin and toxin to 104C1 cell surfaces was observed after the cells were treated with exogenous Forssman glycosphingolipid and GM1 ganglioside, respectively. Biosynthesis in vitro of these two glycosphingolipids from their precursor molecules was established using a membrane preparation isolated from confluent cultures of guinea pig tumor 104C1 cells.
