title: Amphibian brain gangliosides: pattern analysis by two-dimensional thin-layer chromatography.
abstract: Gangliosides were extracted from brains from ten amphibian species, representing six different genera from two orders, and analyzed by two-dimensional thin-layer chromatography (2D-TLC). Qualitatively distinct differences were detected at the family level, while differences within the same family or genus were primarily quantitative.
