Implications of the presence of N-glycolylneuraminic acid in recombinant therapeutic glycoproteins. [PDF]
Recombinant glycoprotein therapeutics produced in nonhuman mammalian cell lines and/or with animal serum are often modified with the nonhuman sialic acid N-glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc; refs. 1,2). This documented contamination has generally been ignored in drug development because healthy individuals were not thought to react to Neu5Gc (ref.

Adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors are promising candidates for gene therapy. However, a number of recent preclinical large animal studies failed to translate into the clinic. This illustrates the formidable challenge of choosing the animal models that

Studying Lactoferrin N-Glycosylation. [PDF]
Lactoferrin is a multifunctional glycoprotein found in the milk of most mammals. In addition to its well-known role of binding iron, lactoferrin carries many important biological functions, including the promotion of cell proliferation and ...

Cloning and expression of porcine β1,4 N-acetylgalactosaminyl transferase encoding a new xenoreactive antigen [PDF]
Xenograft rejection of pigs organs with an engineered mutation in the GGTA-1 gene (GTKO) remains a predominantly antibody mediated process which is directed to a variety of non-Gal protein and carbohydrate antigens.

Characterization of gangliosides by direct inlet chemical ionization mass spectrometry.
Permethylated derivatives of N-acetylneuraminic acid-containing GM3, N-glycolylneuraminic acid-containing GM3, GD1a, and GD1b, were analyzed by direct inlet ammonia chemical ionization (CI) mass spectrometry.

Regulation of N-glycolylneuraminic acid biosynthesis in developing pig small intestine [PDF]
N-Glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc), an abundant sialic acid in animal glycoconjugates, is formed by the enzyme CMP-N-acetylneuraminic acid (CMP-Neu5Ac) hydroxylase. The amount of Neu5Gc relative to other sialic acids is highly dependent on the species, tissue and developmental stage.

Ferrets exclusively synthesize Neu5Ac and express naturally humanized influenza A virus receptors [PDF]
Mammals express the sialic acids N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac) and N-glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc) on cell surfaces, where they act as receptors for pathogens, including influenza A virus (IAV). Neu5Gc is synthesized from Neu5Ac by the enzyme

N-glycolylneuraminic acid binding of avian H7 influenza A viruses [PDF]
AbstractInfluenza A viruses initiate infection by binding to glycans with terminal sialic acids present on the cell surface. Hosts of influenza A viruses variably express two major forms of sialic acid, N-acetylneuraminic acid (NeuAc) and N-glycolylneuraminic acid (NeuGc).
