Sialic Acid (n-acetylneuraminic Acid) in Human Serum.
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 to 27-year-old adults. Higher values were noted in the case of rickets, severe burns, rheumatic disease, and tuberculosis.

Evidence for a sialic acid salvaging pathway in lepidopteran insect cells.
We previously described a transgenic insect cell line, Sfbeta4GalT/ST6, that expresses mammalian beta-1,4-galactosyltransferase and alpha2,6-sialyltransferase genes and produces glycoproteins with terminally sialylated N-glycans. The ability of these cells to produce sialylated N-glycans was surprising because insect cells contain only small amounts of sialic acid and no detectable CMP-sialic a...
متن کاملA transgenic insect cell line engineered to produce CMP-sialic acid and sialylated glycoproteins.
We have previously engineered transgenic insect cell lines to express mammalian glycosyltransferases and showed that these cells can sialylate N-glycoproteins, despite the fact that they have little intracellular sialic acid and no detectable CMP-sialic acid. In the accompanying study, we presented evidence that these cell lines can salvage sialic acids for de novo glycoprotein sialylation from...

Head and neck cancers (HNC) have emerged as a leading cause of cancer related mortality and morbidity worldwide. Especially in developing countries, due to a lack of awareness and healthcare facilities, most HNC cases are diagnosed at advanced stages. Currently, there are no reliable non-invasive diagnostic modalities to detect HNC and follow up treated cases. Serum sialic acid is a promising c...
