Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Norovirus infection is the leading cause of acute nonbacterial gastroenteritis. Histoblood group antigens (HBGAs) are host susceptibility determinants for Norwalk virus (NV) infection. We hypothesized that antibodies that block NV-HBGA binding are associated with protection from clinical illness following NV exposure. METHODS: We developed an HBGA blocking assay to examine the ability of human serum...
