Probable binding specificities of NoV-VLPs examined in this study.

Binding specificities were grouped based on the results from ELISA using a panel of saliva samples (Fig. 2). *See the detailed structures in Fig. 1. #Among 16 VLPs at least 6 VLPs (GI.11, GII.7, GII.15, GI.1, GII.2 and GII.3) showed different binding specificities of blood group-related glycans from those in gastric mucosa samples (Fig. 4). Four VLPs (GI.8, GII.1, GII.5 and GII.14) were not listed in this table (see the details in the Text).
