Sialic acids',\* are well known as constituents of glycoproteins and glycolipids of cell membranes, and they play a role in biological recognition. It is also known that naturally occurring sialo compounds contain sialic acids in a-glycosidic linkage, except for CMP-N-acetylneuraminic acid. Therefo

Mammals, birds, amphibians, and teleost fish all have similar brain gangliosides. These gangliosides are of the ganglio-series with predominantly, gangliotetraose, P-o-Gal-(1 + 3)-fl-D-GalNAc-(1 + +&o-Gal-( 1+ 4)-~-Gk, as the neutral oligosaccharide, though with a varying degree of sialylation.

Gangliosides, sialic acid containing glycosphingolipids, are a class of structurally diverse molecules commonly present in vertebrate plasma membranes and especially enriched in nerve tissues\*. These membrane components are thought to be responsible for important physiological activities, and it is
