A spoonful of sugar helps the viruses go down
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]
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]
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
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

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

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]
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.
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.

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
