Frontiers in Chemistry, 2021 The tandem-repeat Galectin-4 (Gal-4) contains two different domains covalently linked through a short flexible peptide. Both domains have been shown to bind preferentially to A and B histo blood group antigens with different affinities, although the ...

Human Vaccines & Immunotherapeutics, 2021 Rotaviruses (RVs) are the leading cause of acute gastroenteritis in children, while histo-blood group antigens (HBGAs) are believed to be host attachment and susceptibility factors of RVs.

Affinities of human histo-blood group antigens for norovirus capsid protein complexes. [PDF]
Glycobiology, 2015 The binding profiles of many human noroviruses (huNoVs) for human histo-blood group antigens have been characterized. However, quantitative-binding data for these important virus–host interactions are lacking.

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.

Association of Histo–Blood Group Antigens and Susceptibility to Norovirus Infections [PDF]
The Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2005 Noroviruses (NoVs) are the leading cause of viral gastroenteritis in humans of all ages. Challenge studies that used the NoV prototype strain Norwalk virus (NV) have shown that some individuals are not susceptible to infection, suggesting the absence of a receptor. Recent studies have identified histo-blood group antigens (HBGAs) as possible receptors.

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.

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 ...

Histo-Blood Group Antigen Assay for Detecting Noroviruses in Water [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2008 ABSTRACT We evaluated a novel, magnetic-bead-based histo-blood group antigen assay for the recovery of low numbers of norovirus particles. Using this assay, with Norwalk virus seeded in environmental waters as a model, we were able to recover 30 to 300 genomic copies of the virus.

Diversity in RotavirusâHost Glycan Interactions: A âSweetâ 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 glycanâpathogen interactions. For rotavirus, the
