5658-12-8 Usage
Description
Tyvelose is an unusual 3,6-dideoxyhexose terminal sugar and the immunodominant component of glycoprotein antigens in the parasitic helminth T. spiralis, which is responsible for trichinosis in humans. It is produced in high amounts by the infective larva and is immunodominant during the muscle stage of infection. Mice immunized with tyvelose-BSA produce IgG1 antibodies to tyvelose but are not resistant to infection by T. spiralis. Tyvelose-specific antibodies (2.5 mg/20 g) administered to rat pups leads to expulsion of first stage larvae from the intestine within one hour.
Chemical Properties
Off-White Waxy Solid (low-melting)
Uses
The unusual sugar Tyvelose is the immunodominant portion of the major larval glycoprotein antigens of Trichinella spiralis, which play an important role in generating immunity against the intestinal stages of infection.
Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 5658-12-8 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 5,6,5 and 8 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 1 and 2 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 5658-12:
(6*5)+(5*6)+(4*5)+(3*8)+(2*1)+(1*2)=108
108 % 10 = 8
So 5658-12-8 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
