Fucosylation of LAMP-1 and LAMP-2 by FUT1 correlates with lysosomal positioning and autophagic flux of breast cancer cells. [PDF]
Alpha1,2-fucosyltransferases, FUT1 and FUT2, which transfer fucoses onto the terminal galactose of N-acetyl-lactosamine via α1,2-linkage have been shown to be highly expressed in various types of cancers.

Revealing and quantifying polyclonal anti‐A, B specificity in ABO histo‐blood groups
Abstract Background The clinically significant antibody anti‐A,B together with anti‐A and anti‐B has been known for many decades to be present in blood group O plasma. As anti‐A,B is only reactive when an A or B antigen is present, its contribution to titer cannot be easily distinguished from anti‐A and/or anti‐B.

Individuals with Le(a+b-) blood group have increased susceptibility to symptomatic vibrio cholerae O1 infection. [PDF]
Human genetic factors such as blood group antigens may affect the severity of infectious diseases. Presence of specific ABO and Lewis blood group antigens has been shown previously to be associated with the risk of different enteric infections.

Genetic Diversity and Histo-Blood Group Antigen Interactions of Rhesus Enteric Caliciviruses [PDF]
ABSTRACTRecently, we reported the discovery and characterization of Tulane virus (TV), a novel rhesus calicivirus (CV) (T. Farkas, K. Sestak, C. Wei, and X. Jiang, J. Virol.82:5408-5416, 2008). TV grows well in tissue culture, and it represents a new genus withinCaliciviridae, with the proposed name ofRecovirus. We also reported a high prevalence of CV

Abstract Background Transfusion‐related alpha‐gal syndrome (TRAGS) has recently been proposed as a cause of allergic transfusion reactions (ATRs) in which alpha‐gal‐specific IgE in sensitized group O (or potentially group A) recipients reacts with epitopes on group B or AB plasma‐containing components.

A large population-based investigation into the genetics of susceptibility to gastrointestinal infections and the link between gastrointestinal infections and mental illness. [PDF]
Gastrointestinal infections can be life threatening, but not much is known about the host's genetic contribution to susceptibility to gastrointestinal infections or the latter's association with psychiatric disorders.

Abstract Mirvetuximab‐soravtansine (MIRV‐S) is an antibody‐drug conjugate targeting folate receptor alpha (FOLR1). MIRV‐S is approved for the treatment of FOLR1‐positive, platinum‐resistant ovarian carcinoma. Patient eligibility is determined by immunohistochemistry (IHC) using a companion diagnostic (CDx) assay (FOLR1‐2.1, Ventana).

Structural basis of Lewis(b) antigen binding by the Helicobacter pylori adhesin BabA [PDF]
Helicobacter pylori is a leading cause of peptic ulceration and gastric cancer worldwide. To achieve colonization of the stomach, this Gram-negative bacterium adheres to Lewis(b) (Le(b)) antigens in the gastric mucosa using its outer membrane protein ...

TYRO3, AXL, MERTK and Their Ligands in Brain Metastases From Colorectal Cancers
TYRO3, AXL, and MERTK are expressed in primary tumors and extra‐cerebral and brain metastases from colorectal cancers. AXL, primarily expressed in endothelial cells, is the more conserved marker between primary tumor and brain metastasis. The Low AXL/High GAS6 ratio is of poor prognosis in metastatic colorectal cancer patients.
