  1. The following saccharides and glycoproteins were used: N-acetyl neuraminic (sialic) acid (NeuAc), N-acetyl mannosamine (ManNac), N-acetyl galactosamine (GalNAc), N-acetyl glucosamine (GlcNAc), fucose, polysialic acid, bovine submaxillary mucine (BSM), porcine stomach mucine (PSM), fetuin, asialofetuin. Except for asialofetuin, all glycoproteins are sialylated. Concentration inhibiting HA is depicted in mol/l for monosaccharides and mg/ml for polysialic acid and glycoproteins. nd - not determined.
  2. We studied haemagglutination activity in ticks D. marginatus (D.m.), R. appendiculatus (R.a.), R. pulchellus (R.p.), R. sanguineus (R.s.).
