    3FAx-Neu5Ac purchased from MedChemExpress. Usage Cited in: NPJ Breast Cancer. 2026 Jan 24;12(1):29.  [Abstract]

    Macrophage phagocytosis of 4T1 cells pretreated with PBS control or sialic acid inhibitor 3FAx-Neu5Ac (100 μM; 24 h). 3FAx-Neu5Ac mediated sialic acid removal in 4T1 cells remarkably enhanced macrophage phagocytosis of tumor cells.

    3FAX-Neu5Ac (0-200 μM; 24 h) inhibited sialic acid modification in HCT116 cells in a dose-dependent manner.

    3FAx-Neu5Ac purchased from MedChemExpress. Usage Cited in: bioRxiv. 2025 June 02.

    Fluorescent microscopy of lectin binding in 3FAx-Neu5Ac-treated WT MDBK cells. 3Fax-Neu5Ac (200 μM; 10 d) effectively depleted α2,3/α2,6-linked sialic acids in MDBK cells.

    3FAx-Neu5Ac purchased from MedChemExpress. Usage Cited in: bioRxiv. 2025 June 02.

    MDBK cells were treated with either DMSO or 3FAx-Neu5Ac (200 μM; 10 d) and subsequently infected with BPIV3 at a MOI of 1. After 24 hours, The levels of viral nucleoprotein (NP) replication within the cells were assessed as a measure of infection.

    3FAx-Neu5Ac purchased from MedChemExpress. Usage Cited in: bioRxiv. 2025 June 02.

    Primary bovine nasal turbinate cells were isolated and treated with 3Fax-Neu5Ac (200 μM; 10 d) to investigate the distribution of sialic acids. A significant reduction in cell surface sialic acid levels was observed following treatment with the 3Fax-Neu5Ac inhibitor.

    Help & FAQs
    • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

      Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
