Development of methodologies to identify polysialylated proteins and to visualize receptors for polysialic acid in biological samples
DownloadFall 2024
Polysialic acid (polySia) is a homo polymer made of Sialic acid monomers linked to each other through ⍺-2-8 linkages in humans. Its expression on cellular surfaces is limited to nervous, immune, and reproductive systems in a healthy adult human. It is overexpressed in certain tumors and results...

Ovomucin, a member of mucin family, is a glycoprotein accounting for 2-4% of egg white protein. Ovomucin is rich in sialic acid (2.6-7.4%, w/w), which has been suggested as an essential nutrient for infants. Ovomucin is insoluble at neutral pH or in the absence of denaturing agents. The overall...

Capsular polysaccharide (CPS) surrounding the Group B streptococcus (GBS) is a major virulence factor for GBS. There are 10 recognized CPS types (Ia, Ib and II-IX). A GBS isolate is non-typeable (NT) when CPS cannot be identified as one of the 10 CPS types. All genes required for CPS synthesis...
