Application

Neurminidase is used as a cell-surface probe for glycoconjugate distribution and in substrate specificity studies.

A rapid and sensitive assay by high-performance liquid chromatography for determination of the activity and substrate specificity of sialidase (EC 3.2.1.18) and N-acetylneuraminate lyase (EC 4.1.3.3) is described. Sialic acids were separated on a strong anion-exchange resin using 0.75 mM

Sialidases are key virulence factors that remove sialic acid from the host cell surface glycan, unmasking receptors that facilitate bacterial adherence and colonisation. In this study, we developed potential agents for treating bacterial infections caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae Nan A

Rat liver beta-galactoside alpha-2,6-sialyltransferase and Vibrio cholerae sialidase were used, in conjunction with CMP-N-acetyl-[3H]neuraminic acid, to probe the glycoconjugate distribution, sialylation state, and level of penultimate Gal beta 1-4GlcNAc residues on the surfaces of murine thymic lymphocytes. We report a

Two surface glycoproteins of influenza virus, haemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA), play opposite roles in terms of their interaction with host sialic acid receptors. HA attaches to sialic acid on host cell surface receptors to initiate virus infection while NA

Respiratory viruses have long been appreciated as a cause of community acquired pneumonia (CAP), particularly among children, people with serious medical comorbidities, and military recruits. They are increasingly recognized as a cause of CAP among adults. Polymerase chain reaction-based testing
