Usage

Description

N-ACETYLNEURAMIN-LACTOSE, also known as 6′-Sialyllactose, is a compound in which the acetylneuraminyl (NANA) unit is connected to the galactosyl unit of lactose at the 6 position. It is structurally similar to 3′-Sialyllactose, which has the NANA unit connected at the 3 position. N-ACETYLNEURAMIN-LACTOSE plays a crucial role in the identification and characterization of binding domains of various viruses.

Uses

Used in Virology Research:
N-ACETYLNEURAMIN-LACTOSE is used as a reference compound for differentiating and characterizing the binding domains of viruses, such as influenza and rhinitis viruses, that recognize NANA capped cell surface receptors. This helps in understanding the interaction between the virus and its host, which is essential for the development of antiviral therapies and vaccines.
Used in Analytical Chemistry:
N-ACETYLNEURAMIN-LACTOSE is used as a reference compound in analytical methods developed to measure the presence of 3′-Sialyllactose and 6′-Sialyllactose in materials such as milk and colostrums. This is important for determining the composition and quality of these products, as well as for research purposes in the field of dairy science and nutrition.
Used in Pharmaceutical Industry:
N-ACETYLNEURAMIN-LACTOSE can be used as a key component in the development of drugs targeting viral infections, particularly those involving viruses that recognize NANA capped cell surface receptors. By understanding the binding properties of these viruses, researchers can design drugs that interfere with the virus's ability to infect host cells, potentially leading to novel antiviral treatments.
Used in Diagnostics:
N-ACETYLNEURAMIN-LACTOSE can be employed in the development of diagnostic tools and tests to detect the presence of specific viruses in patients. By utilizing the compound's ability to interact with NANA capped cell surface receptors, diagnostic tests can be designed to identify and differentiate between various viral infections, aiding in the accurate diagnosis and treatment of patients.
