Norovirus Infection and Disease in an Ecuadorian Birth Cohort: Association of Certain Norovirus Genotypes With Host FUT2 Secretor Status. [PDF]

, 2015
BACKGROUND: Although norovirus is the most common cause of gastroenteritis, there are few data on the community incidence of infection/disease or the patterns of acquired immunity or innate resistance to norovirus.

Microbiota-induced regulatory T cells associate with FUT2-dependent susceptibility to rotavirus gastroenteritis

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
The FUT2 α1,2fucosyltransferase contributes to the synthesis of fucosylated glycans used as attachment factors by several pathogens, including noroviruses and rotaviruses, that can induce life-threatening gastroenteritis in young children.

Std fimbriae-fucose interaction increases Salmonella-induced intestinal inflammation and prolongs colonization [PDF]

, 2019
Author summary The intestinal epithelium is a crucial biological interface, interacting with both commensal and pathogenic microorganisms. It’s lined with heavily glycosylated proteins and glycolipids which can act as both attachment sites and energy ...

Expression of histo-blood group antigens in bronchial squamous metaplasia [PDF]

European Respiratory Journal, 2006
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the expression of blood group antigens in squamous bronchial metaplasia in order to determine whether this factor could identify patients at risk of lung cancer.In total, 100 bronchial biopsies were included in the present study.

Diversity in Rotavirus–Host Glycan Interactions: A “Sweet” SpectrumSummary

Cellular and Molecular Gastroenterology and Hepatology, 2016
Interaction with cellular glycans is a critical initial step in the pathogenesis of many infectious agents. Technological advances in glycobiology have expanded the repertoire of studies delineating host glycan–pathogen interactions. For rotavirus, the

ABO blood groups and expression of blood group antigens of epithelial ovarian cancer in Chinese women

Cancer Medicine, 2023
Background ABO blood groups has been associated with risk of several cancers; however, the results for an association with ovarian cancer are inconsistent and little is known about the expression of histo‐blood group (ABH) antigens and ABO gene in ...

Intestinal mucin-type O-glycans: the major players in the host-bacteria-rotavirus interactions

Gut Microbes, 2023
Rotavirus (RV) causes severe diarrhea in young children and animals worldwide. Several glycans terminating in sialic acids (SAs) and histo-blood group antigens (HBGAs) on intestinal epithelial cell (IEC) surface have been recognized to act as attachment ...

Assessment of the influence of ABO blood groups on oral cholera vaccine immunogenicity in a cholera endemic area in Zambia

BMC Public Health, 2023
Background Histo-blood group antigens (HBGAs) which include the ABO and Lewis antigen systems have been known for determining predisposition to infections. For instance, blood group O individuals have a higher risk of severe illness due to V.

A spoonful of sugar helps the viruses go down

Journal of Pediatric and Neonatal Individualized Medicine, 2022
Studies that attempt to deepen how pathogens try to circumvent the immune system and stimulate understanding of the mechanisms, can boost our knowledge on the process of viral infection, immune response circumvention and disease development.
