Sialic Acid (n-acetylneuraminic Acid) in Human Serum.
A simple spectrophotometric method is described for the sialic acids which utilizes the reaction with resorcinol and extraction with butyl acetate-n-butanol as a solvent. Normal values for adults, utilizing N-acetylneuraminic acid as a standard, were found to be 60 ± 10.4 mg./100 ml. Values for newborn babies averaged 40.4 ± 5.7. Similar values were found for specimens from 2-month-old infants ...
متن کاملImproved automated determination of bound N-acetylneuraminic acid in serum.
The method in which thiobarbituric acid is used for sialic acid determination was adapted to a fully automated procedure, in which the chromogen need not be extracted with an organic solvent. The entire procedure, including hydrolysis, requires 35 mm and 25 l of serum for one analysis, but 30 samples can be analyzed per hour. The procedure, slightly modified, can be used to measure as little as...
متن کاملGlycolipid-bound sialic acid in serum: increased levels in mice and humans bearing mammary carcinomas.
In mice bearing transplantable mammary carcinomas, serum levels of sialic acid-containing glycolipids were elevated 2.5-fold in pooled serum samples from which gangliosides were purified by column chromatography. A method is also described by which ganglioside content was estimated on as little as 1.0 ml of whole blood to permit studies with individual tumor-bearing mice and age- and litter-mat...
متن کاملInhibitions of Several Antineoplastic Drugs on Serum Sialic Acid Levels in Mice Bearing Tumors
Six murine tumors, including ascetic tumors HepA, EC, P388 leukemia, S180 and solid tumor S180, and Lewis lung carcinoma, were employed in this work. The free sialic acid concentrations in both blood and ascites were measured in tumor-bearing mice. The results showed that the content of sialic acids in blood was increased in tumor growth and certain tumor types. Higher sialic acid content was o...
متن کاملSynthesis of N-acetylneuraminic acid and of CMP-N-acetylneuraminic acid in the rat liver cell.
Adult male rats, under starving and normal conditions, were injected intravenously with N-acetyl[3H]mannosamine and after various time intervals the specific radioactivities of free N-acetylneuraminic acid (NeuAc) and CMP-N-acetylneuraminic acid were determined in the liver. The specific radioactivity of free NeuAc was high even within 20s after injection; the maximum was reached between 7 and ...
