Glycosphingolipids (GSL) structures and role in immunotherapy. (A) Human GSLs are derived from ceramide upon addition of galactose (to form “GalCer”) or, more commonly, addition of glucose (to form “GlcCer”); a fraction of GlcCer is further elaborated with galactose to form “LacCer,” which is the building block for lacto(neo)series, globosides, and gangliosides as cataloged elsewhere (21); here [in (B)] we show several GSLs currently targeted by immunotherapy.
