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.

Background: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is not a common enteric pathogen. The association between human histo-blood group antigens (HBGAs) and P. aeruginosa enteric infection has not yet been studied.

Biologic roles of the ABH and Lewis histo‐blood group antigens Part I: infection and immunity
The ABH and Lewis antigens were among the first of the human red blood cell polymorphisms to be identified and, in the case of the former, play a dominant role in transfusion and transplantation.

Norovirus and Histo-Blood Group Antigens
Norovirus (NoV), a member of the family Caliciviridae, is a major cause of acute water- and food-borne nonbacterial gastroenteritis and forms antigenically diverse groups of viruses. Human NoVs are divided into at least three genogroups, genogroups I (GI), GII, and GIV, which contain at least 15, 18, and 1 genotypes, respectively.

The glycosylation profile of the gastrointestinal tract is an important factor mediating host-microbe interactions. Variation in these glycan structures is often mediated by blood group-related glycosyltransferases, and can lead to wide-ranging ...

Functional immunomics: Microarray analysis of IgG autoantibody repertoires predicts the future response of NOD mice to an inducer of accelerated diabetes [PDF]
One's present repertoire of antibodies encodes the history of one's past immunological experience. Can the present autoantibody repertoire be consulted to predict resistance or susceptibility to the future development of an autoimmune disease? Here we developed an antigen microarray chip and used bioinformatic analysis to study a model of type 1 ...

Interaction between noroviruses and human histo-blood group antigens
Norovirus (NOV), a member of the family Caliciviridae, is a major cause of water and food-borne acute nonbacterial gastroenteritis, and forms many morphologically similar but antigenically diverse groups of viruses. The virus-like particles (VLPs) derived from the prototype strain of NoV, Norwalk virus (NV/68), bind to histo-blood group antigens (HBGAs)

Human norovirus is the major cause of non-bacterial epidemic gastroenteritis. Human norovirus binds to environmental solids via specific and non-specific interactions, and several specific receptors for human norovirus have been reported.

Molecular tug of war reveals adaptive potential of an immune cell repertoire [PDF]
The adaptive immune system constantly remodels its lymphocyte repertoire for better protection against future pathogens. Its ability to improve antigen recognition on the fly relies on somatic mutation and selective expansion of B lymphocytes expressing high-affinity antigen receptors.

Matching with multiple criteria and its application to health disparities research [PDF]
Matching is a popular nonparametric covariate adjustment strategy in empirical health services research. Matching helps construct two groups comparable in many baseline covariates but different in some key aspects under investigation. In health disparities research, it is desirable to understand the contributions of various modifiable factors, like ...
