...Kelli A. McCord; Matthew S. Macauley Sialic acid-binding immunoglobulin-like lectins (Siglecs) are important immunomodulatory receptors. Due to differences between human and mouse Siglecs, defining the in vivo roles for human Siglecs (hSiglecs) can be challenging. One solution is the development...

...Gavin H. Thomas The sialic acids are a family of 9-carbon sugar acids found predominantly on the cell-surface glycans of humans and other animals within the Deuterostomes and are also used in the biology of a wide range of bacteria that often live in association with these animals. For many...

...Nathalie Juge; Louise Tailford; C David Owen Sialidases are a large group of enzymes, the majority of which catalyses the cleavage of terminal sialic acids from complex carbohydrates on glycoproteins or glycolipids. In the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, sialic acid residues are mostly found...

.... In the present review we focus specifically on the bacterial cell envelope-expressed sialic-acid-containing LOS (lipo-oligosaccharide) structures and Type II CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats)–Cas (CRISPR-associated) genes that both occur in specific Gram-negative pathogens...

...) 2009 virus pathogen–host interaction sialic acid Toxoplasma gondii Carbohydrates are a class of highly complex and diverse biomolecules that are ubiquitous at cell surfaces of almost all organisms, and are also found in secretions and extracellular matrices. There is increasing awareness...

...Paul R. Crocker; Pierre Redelinghuys Siglecs (sialic acid-binding Ig-like lectins) are mainly expressed in the immune system. Sn (sialoadhesin) (siglec-1), CD22 (siglec-2) and siglec-15 are well conserved, whereas the CD33-related siglecs are undergoing rapid evolution, as reflected in large...

...T. Avril; H. Attrill; J. Zhang; A. Raper; P.R. Crocker The siglecs (sialic acid-binding Ig-like lectins) are a family of transmembrane receptors expressed in the haemopoietic, immune and nervous systems. The CD33-related siglecs are a distinct subset mostly expressed in the innate immune system...
