Usage

Description

N-Acetyl-9-(acetylamino)-9-deoxyneuraMinic Acid is a synthetic sialic acid analogue and the 9-acetamido derivative of N-Acetylneuraminic Acid (A187000). It is a significant compound in the field of virology, particularly in the context of influenza C virus.

Uses

Used in Virology Research:
N-Acetyl-9-(acetylamino)-9-deoxyneuraMinic Acid is used as a receptor determinant for the attachment of influenza C virus to cells. This application is crucial in understanding the mechanisms of viral attachment and entry into host cells, which can aid in the development of antiviral strategies and treatments.
Used in Modified Erythrocyte Studies:
N-Acetyl-9-(acetylamino)-9-deoxyneuraMinic Acid is used in the modification of erythrocytes, which, when containing this compound, are agglutinated by the influenza C virus to the same titer as the 9-O-acetyl analogue. This property makes it a valuable tool for studying the interactions between the virus and its host cells, as well as for investigating the resistance to cleavage by the viral acetylesterase.
