aAVC formulations contain modified human cells to which glycolipids and cancer antigens are loaded.
The new development in the pharmaceutical industry has led to an increase in the use of N-Acetyl D-Neuraminic acid due to its functions in glycolipids. The increased utilization of the N-Acetyl D-Neuraminic acid as biocatalyst in the biochemical sector is likely to expand the market for N-Acetyl D-Neuraminic acid.
Their product line includes a broad range of sphingolipids, glycolipids, glycosphingolipids, fatty acids and esters, sterols, and vitamin E isomers (tocopherols and tocotrienols).
By analyzing the clot, Yamakawa discovered two novel glycolipids, one containing sialic acid and the other without sialic acid, and named them hematoside (obtained from horse blood) and globoside (obtained from human blood), respectively.
The function of the GLA enzymes is to break down globotriaosyl-ceramide (GL-3 or Gb3), lyso-GL-3/Gb3 and related glycolipids by removing terminal galactose sugar from the end of these glycolipid molecules.

Alfred Gottschalk later showed that hemagglutinin binds virus to host cells by attaching to sialic acids (from the Greek sialon, "saliva") on carbohydrate side chains of cell-surface glycoproteins and glycolipids. The other influenza virus surface protein, neuraminidase (referring to brain lipids from which it was first derived), is a virus receptor-destroying enzyme that removes its substrate, sialic acids, from infected cell surfaces so that newly made progeny viruses are released to infect additional cells.
