Replication of H9 influenza viruses in the human ex vivo respiratory tract, and the influence of neuraminidase on virus release [PDF]
H9N2 viruses are the most widespread influenza viruses in poultry in Asia. We evaluated the infection and tropism of human and avian H9 influenza virus in the human respiratory tract using ex vivo respiratory organ culture.

BackgroundN-glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc) is a non-human red-meat-derived sialic acid immunogenic to humans. Neu5Gc can be metabolically incorporated into glycan chains on human endothelial and epithelial surfaces. This represents the first example of

Possible Role of Dietary N-glycolyneuraminic Acid and Dysbiosis in Canine Enteropathy Pathogenesis [PDF]
N-glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc) is synthesized from its N-acetyl precursor (Neu5Ac) by cytidine-50- monophospho-N acetylneuraminic acid hydroxylase (CMAH). Absent in humans and ferrets, it is polymorphic in dogs.

Analysis on the terahertz spectral characteristics of two types of sialic acids in solid state and aqueous solution [PDF]
In this study, N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac) and N-glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc) were chosen as representative sialic acids to study their terahertz (THz) spectral characteristics in solid and aqueous states.

Screening and Characterization of Sialic Acid-Binding Variable Lymphocyte Receptors from Hagfish [PDF]
Sialic acid is a diverse group of monosaccharides often found on the termini of N- and O-linked glycans as well as being components of glycoconjugates.

Characterization of an Aptamer Targeting Neu5Gc, as an Endogenous Pathogenic Factor Derived from Red Meat [PDF]
N-glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc), a sialic acid predominantly found in the non-neurohumoral fluids of hind-mouthed animals, is incapable of synthesizing Neu5Gc due to a deletion in the CMAH exon of the gene encoding human CMP-Neu5Gc hydroxylase.

The avian influenza A virus receptor SA-α2,3-Gal is expressed in the porcine nasal mucosa sustaining the pig as a mixing vessel for new influenza viruses [PDF]
Influenza A viruses (IAVs) originate from wild birds but have on several occasions jumped host barriers and are now also circulating in humans and mammals.

N-glycolylneuraminic acid as a carbohydrate cancer biomarker
One of the forms of aberrant glycosylation in human tumors is the expression of N-glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc). The only known enzyme to biosynthesize Neu5Gc in mammals, cytidine-5′-monophosphate-N-acetylneuraminic acid (CMAH), appears to be ...
