  1. Characterization of a Histo-Blood Group Antigen-like Substance in Romaine Lettuce That Contributes to Human Norovirus Attachment

    • Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

    • Human noroviruses (HuNoVs) are among the main pathogens causing acute nonbacterial gastroenteritis. Histo-blood group antigens (HBGAs) are widely accepted receptors for HuNoV specific binding. HBGA-like substances in produce are also considered as the critical ligands for capture of HuNoVs. However, the composition of viral ligands from food substrates remains unknown.
