GCC-2
GCC-2 is a glycolipid. GCC-2 binds to CD1d and presents it to cells. GCC-2 induces Th1-biased cellular activation and IFN-γ production. GCC-2 inhibits antitumor activity in colon cancer tumor models and induces antigen-specific humoral immune responses. GCC-2 can be used for research on colon adenocarcinoma.

In Vitro
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
-
Cell Line:Mouse splenocytes
-
Concentration:1-1000 nM
-
Incubation Time:72 h
-
Result:Exhibited maximal activities 17.8-fold higher than αGalCer.
Maintained Th1-biased cytokine profiles across the 1 to 1000 nM concentration range.
Induced higher IFN-γ levels and stronger Th1 polarization than branched analogs 16 and 17.
Pretreatment with an anti-CD1d monoclonal antibody significantly suppressed cytokine secretion.
-
Cell Line:DC2.4 cells
-
Concentration:100 nM
-
Incubation Time:2, 6, 12, 18, or 24 h
-
Result:Exhibited markedly enhanced L363 signals at 12, 18, and 24 h compared with αGalCer.
Showed the strongest L363 signals in DC2.4 cells after 18 h of treatment.
In Vivo
GCC-2 (i.p.) more effectively activates innate immune responses in mice, enhances coordinated NKT and NK cell activation, and promotes Th1-biased responses in vivo[1].
