Effect of Infant and Maternal Secretor Status on Rotavirus Vaccine Take—An Overview

open access: yesViruses, 2021
Histo-blood group antigens, which are present on gut epithelial surfaces, function as receptors or attachment factors and mediate susceptibility to rotavirus infection.

Secretor genotype (FUT2 gene) is strongly associated with the composition of Bifidobacteria in the human intestine.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2011
Intestinal microbiota plays an important role in human health, and its composition is determined by several factors, such as diet and host genotype.

FUT2 secretor genotype and susceptibility to infections and chronic conditions in the ALSPAC cohort [version 2; referees: 2 approved] [PDF]

open access: yesWellcome Open Research, 2018
Background: The FUT2 (fucosyltransferase-2) gene determines blood group secretor status. Being homozygous for the inactive “non-secretor” rs601338(A) allele confers resistance to certain infections (e.g. Norovirus, Rotavirus) and susceptibility to others

Role of ABO secretor status in mucosal innate immunity and H. pylori infection.

open access: yesPLoS Pathogens, 2008
The fucosylated ABH antigens, which constitute the molecular basis for the ABO blood group system, are also expressed in salivary secretions and gastrointestinal epithelia in individuals of positive secretor status; however, the biological function of ...

The Lewis A phenotype is a restriction factor for Rotateq and Rotarix vaccine-take in Nicaraguan children

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2018
Histo-blood group antigens (HBGAs) and the Lewis and secretor antigens are associated with susceptibility to rotavirus infection in a genotype-dependent manner. Nicaraguan children were prospectively enrolled in two cohorts vaccinated with either RotaTeq

Secretor and non-secretor human milk oligosaccharides differentially modulate immune response in the presence of cow’s milk allergen β-lactoglobulin in an in vitro sensitization model

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology
IntroductionFood allergies, like cow’s milk allergy, significantly impact children, with sensitization often beginning during the first year of life. Human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) may influence this process, as specific HMOs differentially affect ...

Unscrambling the secretor and non-secretor phenotypes by exploring chromosome 19's genetic musketeers – H, Se and Le genes [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Medical Laboratory Science & Technology of South Africa
The presence or lack of ABO blood group antigens in bodily secretions is explained by interesting genetic differences that give rise to the secretor and non-secretor phenotypes.

Salivary and plasma inflammatory mediators and secretory status in preterm delivery women with periodontitis - a cross sectional study [PDF]

open access: yesVojnosanitetski Pregled, 2020
Bacground/Aim. Preterm birth is defined as a delivery prior to the completed 37th week of gestation. Literature data suggested that periodontal processes may influence to the feto-placental unit and induce preterm delivery.

Association between breastfeeding, host genetic factors, and calicivirus gastroenteritis in a Nicaraguan birth cohort.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2022
BackgroundNorovirus and sapovirus are important causes of childhood acute gastroenteritis (AGE). Breastfeeding prevents AGE generally; however, it is unknown if breastfeeding prevents AGE caused specifically by norovirus and sapovirus.MethodsWe ...

The Potential Contribution of ABO, Lewis and Secretor Histo-Blood Group Carbohydrates in Infection by Toxoplasma gondii

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2021
The glycosyltransferases encoded by genes from the human ABO, Lewis, and Secretor histo-blood group systems synthesize part of the carbohydrate antigens in hematopoietic and non-hematopoietic tissues.
