Abstract
Disclosed is a novel anti-ganglioside GD.sub.1a monoclonal antibody (MZ) which is capable of recognizing ganglioside GD.sub.1a but is practically incapable of recognizing GalCer, LacCer, Gb.sub.3, Gb.sub.4, GA.sub.1, GA.sub.2, GM.sub.2, GM.sub.3, GD.sub.1b, GT.sub.1b, GQ.sub.1b, Fuc-GM.sub.1, nLc.sub.4 and sialosyl nLc.sub.4 ; MZ-producing cells; an MZ-containing reagent; and a method for the detection or quantification of GD.sub.1a using the reagent, e.g., to diagnose cancer, systematic lupus erythematosus and diseases resulting from organic injury of the nervous system.
