Human uptake and incorporation of an immunogenic nonhuman dietary sialic acid A journal article with a little background info... Best of Luck, SS pnas.org <<Snip>> "Some other diseases such as hepatitis, liver cirrhosis, infectious mononucleosis, rheumatoid arthritis, syphilis, and lepromatous leprosy are claimed to be associated with "Hanganutziu-Deicher" heterophile anti-Neu5Gc antibodies (40–42). Such antibodies could play a role in initiation or progression or simply arise from immune dysregulation that allows preexisting memory B cells to expand. Alternatively, some of these diseases involve proliferation of vascularized tissues that could incorporate more dietary Neu5Gc, boosting a baseline immune response. The small amounts of Neu5Gc in normal tissues also raise the possibility that anti-Neu5Gc antibodies are involved in autoimmunity. In this regard, it is interesting that vegetarian diet has been suggested to improve rheumatoid arthritis (50). " <<snip>>
