In some experiments the bacterial surface was desialylated with 13· In the earlier set of experiments that utilized neuraminidase, we noted that, following neuraminidase treatment, there were typically fewer cells in the dish, indicating that cells had lost cell-cell and/or cell-matrix adhesions. Sialic acid quantitation was carried out using the Sialic Acid (NANA) Assay kit from Biovision (Mountain View, CA) following the manufacturer's protocol. Briefly, a 15-cm dish of HEK 293 cells (ca. 2 ×...
