Norovirus binding to intestinal epithelial cells is independent of histo-blood group antigens.

Norovirus binding to intestinal epithelial cells is independent of histo-blood group antigens.

Human noroviruses (NoVs) are a major cause of non-bacterial gastroenteritis. Although histo-blood group antigens (HBGAs) have been implicated in the initial binding of NoV, the mechanism of that binding before internalization is not clear. To determine the involvement of NoVs and HBGAs in cell bindi...
