Lewis Blood-Group Antigens Are Associated With Altered Susceptibility to Shigellosis. [PDF]
Clinical Infectious Diseases, 2021 Abstract In a cohort of infants, we found that lack of the Lewis histo-blood group antigen was associated with increased susceptibility to shigellosis. Broadly inhibiting fucosylation in epithelial cells in vitro decreased invasion by Shigella flexneri.

FEBS Open Bio, 2022 Noroviruses have been identified as major causative agents of acute nonbacterial gastroenteritis in humans. Histo‐blood group antigens (HBGAs) are thought to play a major role among the host cellular factors influencing norovirus infection.

Lewis a Blood Group Antigen of Non-Secretors: A Receptor for Candida Blastospores. [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Immunology, 1989 This study tested the hypothesis that the Lewis a blood group antigen found predominantly on the cells of non-secretors might be one of the receptors for Candida species. Binding of strain 3118C to epithelial cells from either secretor or non-secretor donors was not inhibited by treating the cells with anti-Lewis a or anti-Lewis b antisera.

Genetically determined ABO blood group, secretor status, Lewis antigens, and panNEN risk. [PDF]
Endocr Relat CancerAbstract Pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (panNENs) are rare endocrine malignancies with poorly defined risk factors, in contrast to the more common pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), for which non-O ABO blood group is a well-established susceptibility marker.

Importance of Phenotyping Minor Blood Group Antigen in Renal Transplant Donors: A Retrospective Cohort Study [PDF]
Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2023 Introduction: Various studies have implicated minor antigens with increased graft rejection in the long term, especially in alloimmunised patients. Recipient’s antibody testing is done exhaustively during each case of rejection. However, without data

Individuals with Le(a+b-) blood group have increased susceptibility to symptomatic vibrio cholerae O1 infection. [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2011 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.

Lewis b antigen is a common ligand for genogroup I norovirus strains
FEBS Open Bio, 2022 Noroviruses are major causative agents of nonbacterial acute gastroenteritis in humans. Ten genogroups of noroviruses have been identified to date, among which genogroup I (GI) and genogroup II (GII) noroviruses are major pathogens for humans. GI and GII
