A spoonful of sugar helps the viruses go down

open access: yesJournal 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.

Histo-blood group antigens as receptors for rotavirus, new understanding on rotavirus epidemiology and vaccine strategy. [PDF]

open access: yesEmerg Microbes Infect, 2017
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 ...

Validation of a Polymerase Chain Reaction technique for Kidd blood group genotyping [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The Kidd blood group antigens, Jkª and Jkᵇ , are two of the main surface markers which are found on the membrane of red blood cells. The determination of whether a donor or a recipient has the Jkª and/or the Jkᵇ antigens is crucially important to ...

Genetic Susceptibility to Human Norovirus Infection: An Update

open access: yesViruses, 2019
Noroviruses are the most common etiological agent of acute gastroenteritis worldwide. Despite their high infectivity, a subpopulation of individuals is resistant to infection and disease. This susceptibility is norovirus genotype-dependent and is largely

Norovirus diarrhea is significantly associated with higher counts of fecal histo-blood group antigen expressing Enterobacter cloacae among black South African infants

open access: yesGut Microbes, 2021
The study tested the hypothesis that harboring high levels of histo-blood group antigen-expressing Enerobactero cloacae is a risk factor for norovirus diarrhea. The fecal E. cloacae abundance in diarrheic norovirus positive (DNP), non-diarrheic norovirus

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

open access: yesCancer 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 ...

Norovirus drug candidates that inhibit viral capsid attachment to human histo-blood group antigens. [PDF]

open access: yesAntiviral Res, 2016
Human noroviruses are the leading causative agents of epidemic and sporadic viral gastroenteritis and childhood diarrhoea worldwide. Human histo-blood group antigens (HBGA) serve as receptors for norovirus capsid protein attachment and play a critical ...

Structural modification of H histo-blood group antigen.

open access: yesBlood transfusion = Trasfusione del sangue, 2015
ABO blood group polymorphisms of humans and other primates are determined by the expression of A, B, or H antigens, which are terminal neutral glycan sequences that are abundant in glycoproteins and glycolipids. H substance is a precursor which, under the influence of genes A and B, is converted into blood group substance A or B, respectively.

Binding to histo-blood group antigen-expressing bacteria protects human norovirus from acute heat stress

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2015
This study aims to investigate if histo-blood group antigen (HBGA) expressing bacteria have any protective role on human norovirus (NoV) from acute heat stress.

Species-Specific N-Glycomes and Methylation Patterns of Oysters Crassostrea gigas and Ostrea edulis and Their Possible Consequences for the Norovirus–HBGA Interaction

open access: yesMarine Drugs, 2023
Noroviruses, the major cause of acute viral gastroenteritis, are known to bind to histo-blood group antigens (HBGAs), including ABH groups and Lewis-type epitopes, which decorate the surface of erythrocytes and epithelial cells of their host tissues. The
