C2 Galactosylceramide (d18:1/2:0)

C2 Galactosylceramide is a bioactive sphingolipid. It inhibits IL-4 production by 23.24% in EL4 T cells when used at a concentration of 10 µM. C2 Galactosylceramide stimulates NF-kappaB activity in C6 glioma cells and activates mast cells in a concentration-dependent manner. It is cytotoxic to U937 cells in vitro (IC50 = 33 µM). C2 Galactosylceramide also suppresses the allogeneic mixed leukocyte reaction (MLR) response in murine spleen cells in a concentration-dependent manner. [Matreya, LLC.
