Abstract
SIALIC ACID was first demonstrated in the submaxillary gland by Blix1 and afterwards in many secretions of higher animals—in liver, ovomucin, meconium, colostrum, erythrocytes, nervous tissue and micro-organisms. Comprehensive reviews on sialic acids have been published by Zilliken and Whitehouse2 and by Blix3.
