Norovirus Capture with Histo-Blood Group Antigens Reveals Novel Virus-Ligand Interactions
27 Feb 2004
Abstract excerpt
Noroviruses are genetically diverse, uncultivable, positive-sense RNA viruses and are the most common cause of epidemic acute gastroenteritis in humans in the United States. Recent studies of norovirus attachment in vitro by using recombinant virus-like particles (VLPs) suggest that various norovirus strains exhibit different patterns of attachment to ABH histo-blood group antigens, which are carbohydrate...
