Bacterial and Fungal Sialidases

The molecular masses of native sialidases have been determined by gel filtration and SDS-PAGE, or deduced from the nucleotide sequences coding for 

Recently, sialidase genes have been cloned from several bacterial and fungal strains, including Clostridiumperfringens (Roggentin et al., 1988a, 1992), Clos- 

Recently, evidence has been presented suggesting that some bacterial siali-

IgG receptors on cultured, human lymphocytes.526 Sialidase treatment of lymphocytes from sensitized subjects increased the responsiveness to viral, bacterial, and fungal antigens.527 The same treatment of human, Herpes simplex virus-infected cells was found to enhance the sensitivity of the cells to lysis mediated by antibody and complement.528...
