Abstract
Glycosphingolipids are a class of naturally occurring bioactive compounds usually embedded in the membrane of all animal cells and in some plant cells.'The clinically important blood group antigens2 and the immunologically relevant tumor-associated oligosaccharides3 are examples of glycosphingolipids. The" intelligent" roles attributed to these biomolecules include mediation of cell-cell recognition and communication, growth ...
