Appearance of sialoglycoproteins in encysting cells of Entamoeba histolytica [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 1988 Amoeba-bacterium cultures of Entamoeba histolytica transferred to a hypoosmotic medium depleted of nutrients changed morphologically and biochemically. The cells ejected grains of rice starch, rounded up, and formed a distinct cell wall that was resistant to detergent, bound the sialic acid-specific lectin from Limulus polyphemus, and became ...

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2009 Trypanosoma cruzi sialoglycoproteins (Tc-mucins) are mucin-like molecules linked to a parasite membrane via a glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchor. We previously determined the structures of Tc-mucin O-glycan domains from several T.

The use of monoclonal antibodies to quantify the levels of sialoglycoproteins α and δ and variant sialoglycoproteins in human erythrocyte membranes [PDF]
Biochemical Journal, 1986 By using radioiodinated monoclonal antibodies we have estimated that there are about 600 000 copies of sialoglycoprotein alpha (synonym glycophorin A) and 80 000 copies of sialoglycoprotein delta (synonym glycophorin B) per normal human erythrocyte. Erythrocytes expressing the product of only one alpha gene contain about 300 000 copies of alpha/cell ...

A New Procedure for Gangliosidic N-Acetylneuraminic Acid Analysis in Serum
The International Journal of Biological Markers, 1991 In this paper a method is presented which is suitable for the extraction, purification and analysis of serum gangliosides. The advantage in comparison with other previously published procedures is the complete extraction of sialoglycolipids without ...

Kinetic analysis of the influenza A virus HA/NA balance reveals contribution of NA to virus-receptor binding and NA-dependent rolling on receptor-containing surfaces. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2018 Interactions of influenza A virus (IAV) with sialic acid (SIA) receptors determine viral fitness and host tropism. Binding to mucus decoy receptors and receptors on epithelial host cells is determined by a receptor-binding hemagglutinin (HA), a receptor ...

Sialic acid: a sweet swing between mammalian host and Trypanosoma cruzi
Frontiers in Immunology, 2012 Commonly found at the outermost ends of complex carbohydrates in extracellular medium or on outer cell membranes, sialic acids play important roles in a myriad of biological processes.
