Thin-layer chromatography separation of rabbit RBC glycolipids extracted in the organic (lane 1) and aqueous phase (lane 2) after Folch partition. Glycolipids were stained with orcinol. Note that the organic phase contains primarily ceramide trihexoside (CTH) with the structure Galα1-4Galβ1-4Glc-Cer, whereas the aqueous phase contains mostly CPH with the structure Galα1-3Galβ1- 4GlcNAcβ1-3Galβ1-4Glc-Cer, and long-chain glycosphingolipids (LC-GSL), all of which have α-gal epitopes (15, 16).
