Abstract
We have analyzed the sialylated lipooligosaccharide of Neisseria menin gitidis 6275. Sialylated oligosaccharide released from strain 6275 lip ooligosaccharide by mild hydrolysis was determined to contain N-acetyl neuraminic acid linked alpha2 --> 3 to terminal galactose as shown bel ow. [GRAPHICS]
