Histo-blood group antigens and rotavirus vaccine shedding in Nicaraguan infants. [PDF]
AbstractABO, Lewis and secretor histo-blood group antigens (HBGA) are susceptibility factors for rotavirus in a P-genotype dependent manner and can influence IgA seroconversion rates following rotavirus vaccination. To investigate the association between HBGA phenotypes and rotavirus vaccine shedding fecal samples (n = 304) from a total of 141 infants ...

Genogroup IV and VI canine noroviruses interact with histo-blood group antigens. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Human noroviruses (HuNV) are a significant cause of viral gastroenteritis in humans worldwide. HuNV attaches to cell surface carbohydrate structures known as histo-blood group antigens (HBGAs) prior to internalization, and HBGA polymorphism among human populations is closely linked to susceptibility to HuNV.

The Potential Contribution of ABO, Lewis and Secretor Histo-Blood Group Carbohydrates in Infection by Toxoplasma gondii [PDF]
The glycosyltransferases encoded by genes from the human ABO, Lewis, and Secretor histo-blood group systems synthesize part of the carbohydrate antigens in hematopoietic and non-hematopoietic tissues.

Human noroviruses' fondness for histo-blood group antigens. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Human noroviruses are the dominant cause of outbreaks of gastroenteritis around the world. Human noroviruses interact with the polymorphic human histo-blood group antigens (HBGAs), and this interaction is thought to be important for infection. Indeed, synthetic HBGAs or HBGA-expressing enteric bacteria were shown to enhance norovirus

A New Chemical Approach to Human ABO Histo-Blood Group Type 2 Antigens
A new chemical approach to synthesizing human ABO histo-blood type 2 antigenic determinants was developed. N-Phthaloyl-protected lactosaminyl thioglycoside derived from lactulose via the Heyns rearrangement was employed to obtain a type 2 core ...

Molecular basis of P[II] major human rotavirus VP8* domain recognition of histo-blood group antigens. [PDF]
Initial cell attachment of rotavirus (RV) to specific cell surface glycan receptors, which is the essential first step in RV infection, is mediated by the VP8* domain of the spike protein VP4.

Attachment of Norovirus to Histo Blood Group Antigens: A Cooperative Multistep Process
AbstractHuman noroviruses recognize histo blood group antigens (HBGAs) as cellular attachment factors. Recently, it has been discovered that norovirus infection can be significantly enhanced by HBGA binding. Yet the attachment process and how it promotes host‐cell entry is only poorly understood.

Bovine Nebovirus Interacts with a Wide Spectrum of Histo-Blood Group Antigens. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Some viruses within the Caliciviridae family initiate their replication cycle by attachment to cell surface carbohydrate moieties, histo-blood group antigens (HBGAs), and/or terminal sialic acids (SAs).

Histo-blood group antigens: a common niche for norovirus and rotavirus. [PDF]
Noroviruses (NoVs) and rotaviruses (RVs), the two most important causes of viral acute gastroenteritis, are found to recognise histo-blood group antigens (HBGAs) as receptors or ligands for attachment. Human HBGAs are highly polymorphic containing ABO, secretor and Lewis antigens.
