An IgG monoclonal antibody to group B meningococci cross-reacts with developmentally regulated polysialic acid units of glycoproteins in neural and extraneural tissues.

J. Immunol. 138 , 4402-4407, (1987)

The structurally similar polysialic acid capsules of group B meningococci and Escherichia coli K1 are poor immunogens, and attempts are currently being made to improve their immunogenicity by chemical modifications. An IgG monoclonal antibody to these polysia...

Polysialic acid units are spatially and temporally expressed in developing postnatal rat kidney.

Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 84 , 1969-1973, (1987)

We report the presence of alpha(2----8)-linked polysialic acid as detected with a monoclonal antibody outside the nervous tissue in the postnatal developing rat kidney. By immunoblot analysis, the reactivity was confined to a broad band of apparent molecular ...

Reexpression of poly(sialic acid) units of the neural cell adhesion molecule in Wilms tumor.

Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 85 , 2999-3003, (1988)

A unique structural feature of the neural cell adhesion molecule N-CAM is the presence of homopolymers of alpha (2----8)-linked sialic acid units. We have used two specific probes for the detection of poly(sialic acid) in normal human kidney and Wilms tumor: ...
