Inhibitory activity of several types of oligoSia chains in fertilization assays

Compound tested % fertilization
(SO4)9-Neu5Gcα2(→5-OglycolylNeu5Gcα2→)n 26  ± 11
Neu5Gcα2(→5-OglycolylNeu5Gcα2→)n 83  ± 21
Neu5Acα2(→8Neu5Acα2→)n 81  ± 7

Each value is the mean ± SE of three separate experiments. In all cases 600 μM oligosaccharide was added.
