- So far, schisto- and spirometo-series glycosphingolipids have been only found in parasitic helminths
- 2006, Aaron G. Maule, Nikki J. Marks, Parasitic Flatworms: Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, Immunology and Physiology, →ISBN:
- Structural analyses of the neutral glycosphgolipids from plerocercoids of the parasites Spirometra erinacei (Kawakami et al., 2993, 1995, 1996), Spirometra mansonoides (Singh et al., 1987), Diplogonoporus balaenopterae (Kawakami et al., 1997) as well as adult worms and plerocercoids of Diphyllobothrium hottai (Iriko et al., 2002) revealed the presence of a novel and so far unique biosynthetic series (spirometo-series) which is based on galactosylceramide and characterized by the monosaccharide sequence Gal(β1-4)Glc(β1-3)Galceramide (Fig. 21.6).

- AK97 was originally established for a spirometo-series parasitic glycosphingolipid having a characteristic trisaccharide structure [Galβ1-4(Fucα1-3)Glcβ-] (Kawakami et al. 1993) but strongly reacts also with SSEA-1 (Yanagisawa et al. 1999).
