The company added that AGI-134 is a synthetic alpha-Gal glycolipid in development for solid tumours.
The function of the GLA enzymes is to break down globotriaosyl-ceramide (GL-3 or Gb3), lyso-GL-3/Gb3 and related glycolipids by removing terminal galactose sugar from the end of these glycolipid molecules.
But glycolipid (Inagaki et al., 2006; Para et al., 2009; Mansoor et al., 2007; La et al., 2012; Ikada et al., 2009) was scarce investigated which also belonged to the liposoluble constituent of cervus nippon antler velvet layer.
AGI-134 is a synthetic, intratumorally administered glycolipid designed to label cancer cells with alpha-Gal, which then become the target of pre-existing anti-Gal antibodies, effectively triggering an immediate local anti-tumor response, as well as a follow-on systemic anti-tumor response targeting both the primary injected tumor and distal secondary tumors.
Objective: To examine the relationship between transforming growth factor (TGF)-[beta] with recurrent erythema nodosum leprosum (ENL) based on the anti-phenolic glycolipid (PGL)-1 IgM antibody and cortisol in leprosy patients.

The purpose of the present work was to evaluate salivary anti-phenolic glycolipid 1 antigen (PGL-1) IgA and IgM isotypes among 169 leprosy contacts aged 4-16 years living in the municipalities of Santana do Ipanema and Rio Largo (Alagoas state, Brazil).
