Boraston, Alisdair, B., Kitova, Elena N., Klassen, John S., Tan, Ming, Pluvinage, Benjamin, Han, Ling, Jiang, Xi
The binding profiles of many human noroviruses (huNoVs) for human histo-blood group antigens have been characterized. However, quantitative-binding data for these important virus–host interactions are lacking. Here, we report on the intrinsic (per binding site) affinities of HBGA oligosaccharides...

Klassen, John S., Xia, Ming, Tan, Ming, Wang, Leyi, Han, Ling, Kitova, Elena N., Jiang, Xi, Kitov, Pavel I.
Noroviruses (NoVs), the major cause of viral acute gastroenteritis, recognize histo-blood group antigens (HBGAs) as receptors or attachment factors. To gain a deeper understanding of the interplay between NoVs and their hosts, the affinities of recombinant P dimers (P2's) of a GII.4 NoV (VA387)...

Carbohydrate-lipid interactions: Affinities of methylmannose polysaccharides for lipids in aqueous solution
Download2012
Sun, Nian, Klassen, John S., Bai, Yu, Liu, Lan, Xia, Li, Lowary, Todd L.
The interactions between 3-O-methyl-mannose polysaccharides (MMPs), extracted from Mycobacterium smegmatis (consisting of a mixture of MMP-10, -11, -12 and -13) or obtained by chemical synthesis (MMP-5s, -8s, -11s and -14s), and linear saturated and unsaturated fatty acids (FAs), and a commercial...

Characterization of Norovirus strains and a seroprevalence study to understand the fluctuation of outbreak activity in Alberta, Canada
DownloadFall 2016
Norovirus (NoV) is recognized as the leading agent causing gastroenteritis among individuals of all ages. Historical data of NoV outbreak surveillance in Alberta, Canada, from the period July 2000 to June 2008 demonstrated a biennial pattern of NoV outbreak activity, in which peaks of high...

Comparative study of substrate and product binding to the human ABO(H) blood group glycosyltransferases
Download2009
Klassen, John S., Shoemaker, Glen K., Palcic, Monica M., Soya, Naoto
The first comparative thermodynamic study of the human blood group glycosyltransferases, α-(1→3)-N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase (GTA) and α-(1→3)-galactosyltransferase (GTB), interacting with donor substrates, donor and acceptor analogs, and trisaccharide products in vitro is reported. The...

Cytokine profiles in pregnant gilts experimentally infected with porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus and relationships with viral load and fetal outcome
Download2014
Plastow, G., Souza, C. J. H., Lunney, J. K., Ashley, C., Ladinig, A., Harding, J. C. S.
In spite of extensive research, immunologic control mechanisms against Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome virus (PRRSv) remain poorly understood. Cytokine responses have been exhaustively studied in nursery pigs and show contradictory results. Since no detailed reports on cytokine...
