Minimizing the Entropy Penalty for Ligand Binding: Lessons from the Molecular Recognition of the Histo Blood-Group Antigens by Human Galectin-3. [PDF]
Ligand conformational entropy plays an important role in carbohydrate recognition events. Glycans are characterized by intrinsic flexibility around the glycosidic linkages, thus in most cases, loss of conformational entropy of the sugar upon complex ...

The effect of proteolytic enzymes and pH on GII.4 norovirus, during both interactions and non-interaction with Histo-Blood Group Antigens. [PDF]
Human noroviruses (HuNoVs) are the leading cause of acute gastroenteritis worldwide. Histo-Blood Groups Antigens (HBGAs) have been described as attachment factors, promoting HuNoV infection. However, their role has not yet been elucidated.

Histo-blood group antigens and rotavirus vaccine shedding in Nicaraguan infants. [PDF]
ABO, 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.

Biologic roles of the ABH and Lewis histo‐blood group antigens part II: thrombosis, cardiovascular disease and metabolism [PDF]
The ABH and Lewis antigens were among the first of the human red blood cell polymorphisms to be identified and, in the case of the former, play a dominant role in transfusion and transplantation.

The role of the blood group-related glycosyltransferases FUT2 and B4GALNT2 in susceptibility to infectious disease [PDF]
The glycosylation profile of the gastrointestinal tract is an important factor mediating host-microbe interactions. Variation in these glycan structures is often mediated by blood group-related glycosyltransferases, and can lead to wide-ranging ...

Histo-blood group antigens as receptors for rotavirus, new understanding on rotavirus epidemiology and vaccine strategy. [PDF]
The success of the two rotavirus (RV) vaccines (Rotarix and RotaTeq) in many countries endorses a live attenuated vaccine approach against RVs. However, the lower efficacies of both vaccines in many low- and middle-income countries indicate a need to ...

Effect of natural ageing and heat treatments on GII.4 norovirus binding to Histo-Blood Group Antigens. [PDF]
Human noroviruses (HuNoVs) are the leading cause of viral foodborne outbreaks worldwide. To date, no available methods can be routinely used to detect infectious HuNoVs in foodstuffs.

Human Group C Rotavirus VP8*s Recognize Type A Histo-Blood Group Antigens as Ligands. [PDF]
Group/species C rotaviruses (RVCs) have been identified as important pathogens of acute gastroenteritis (AGE) in children, family-based outbreaks, as well as animal infections. However, little is known regarding their host-specific interaction, infection,

Deciphering the role of histo-blood group antigens in bovine rotavirus C infection
Rotaviruses (RVs) are the main cause of viral diarrhea among infants, small children, and the young of many animal species. Histo-blood group antigens (HBGAs) are potential RV receptors and glycan composition on mucous surfaces influences host ...
