Product Information

• Name: Sialylglycan
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Sialylglycan is a glycan that is found on the surface of cells and is important in cell-cell interactions. It is involved in the binding of influenza virus to its receptor, and sialylglycan has been shown to be bifunctional, meaning it can act as both an antigen and an antibody. Sialylglycan oligosaccharides are found in muscle tissue, which is where influenza viruses are most likely to attach. The molecule's fluorimetric properties have also been used to study outbreaks of avian influenza. Sialylglycan has been used for gene analysis by attaching fluorescent tags to the molecule that can be detected using fluorescence microscopy techniques. In vivo assays have also been performed with sialylglycan as a model antigen.
