Molecular basis of P[6] and P[8] major human rotavirus VP8* domain interactions with histo-blood group antigens
2019-01-04
Abstract excerpt
Initial cell attachment of rotavirus (RV) to specific cell surface glycans, which is the essential first step in RV infection, is mediated by the VP8* domain of the spike protein VP4. Recently, human histo-blood group antigens (HBGAs) have been identified as ligands or receptors for human RV strains. RV strains in the P[4] and P[8] genotypes of the P[II] genogroup share common recognition of the Lewis b and H type...
