title: Subcellular localization of sialic acid in human brain tumors.
abstract: The subcellular localization of sialic acid has been investigated in various types of human brain tumors, such as astrocytoma, meningioma and primary malignant lymphoma. High levels of sialic acid were observed in the microsomal fraction of all types of tumors. However, there was no significant difference between values obtained in meningioma, primary malignant lymphoma, and normal tissue, in the fractions examining nucleus, mitochondria and supernatant.
