Abstract
Three samples of bovine nasal secretion were each separated into a sol phase and a surface gel phase. In all samples, the gel phase contained an approximately four times greater amount of bound N-acetylneuraminic acid (NANA) than the sol phase. From the gel phase, bound NANA could be released by exposure to parainfluenza-3 virus neuraminidase. The surface gel appears to be a natural substrate for this enzyme.
