Immunogenetic Mechanisms Driving Norovirus GII.4 Antigenic Variation

Immunogenetic Mechanisms Driving Norovirus GII.4 Antigenic Variation

Noroviruses are the principal cause of epidemic gastroenteritis worldwide with GII.4 strains accounting for 80% of infections. The major capsid protein of GII.4 strains is evolving rapidly, resulting in new epidemic strains with altered antigenic potentials. To test if antigenic drift may contribute...
