Scientific paper

A PURIFIED preparation of brain ganglioside, a macromolecular glycolipid the structure of which has been recently considerably clarified1, has been shown to inhibit in low concentration the viral hæmagglutination reaction2 and to inhibit in the same concentrations the neurotoxic effect in mouse brain of influenza PR8 and NWS viruses3. The consideration of the possible membrane and transport role that brain ganglioside might have in the central nervous system has led to the investigation of the effect of this substance upon the heart of Venus mercenaria (clam), an organ which had been used in the bioassay of acetyl choline, 5-hydroxytryptamine, and other substances with known or suspected neurohumoral function4,5.
