Terminal Sialic Acids are an Important Determinant of Pulmonary Endothelial Barrier Integrity
Both mutants were grown on 2,7-anhydro-Neu5Ac (orange), Neu5Ac (blue), glucose (red), or M9 medium alone (black) in 200-µl microtiter plates. All strains were grown on 2,7-anhydro-Neu5Ac (orange), Neu5Ac (blue), glucose (red), or M9 medium alone (black) in 200-µl microtiter plates. Structure of the sialometabolic nan regulon of E. coli K12 strains and the role of […]

Finally, is there a threshold of sialic acid loss that must be attained before barrier disruption occurs? More specifically, treatment of endothelial monolayers with neuraminidases leads to endothelial barrier disruption. However, the fact that there was an actual increase in resistance suggests that there is something more going on, something we do not yet understand. […]
