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.

Genetic Susceptibility to Human Norovirus Infection: An Update

Viruses, 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

Gut 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

Structural modification of H histo-blood group antigen.

Blood 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.

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

Marine 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

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

Frontiers 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.
