Scope and Contents

Contents

Potential O-acetylation of the sialic acid residues of Escherichia coli K1, groups W-135, Y, and C meningococci, and group B Streptococcus capsular polysaccharides modifies their immunogenicity and susceptibility to glycosidases. Despite the biological importance of O-acetylation, no sialic or polysialic acid O-acetyltransferase has been identified...
