Abstract
The molecular mechanisms behind infection and propagation of human restricted pathogens such as human norovirus (HuNoV) have defied interrogation because they were previously unculturable. However, human intestinal enteroids (HIEs) have emerged to offer unique ex vivo models for targeted studies of intestinal biology, including inflammatory and infectious diseases. Carbohydrate-dependent histo-blood group antigens (HBGAs) are known to be critical for clinical infection. To explore whether HBGAs of glycosphingolipids contribute to HuNoV infection, we obtained HIE cultures established from stem cells isolated from jejunal biopsies of six individuals with different ABO, Lewis, and secretor genotypes. We analyzed their glycerolipid and sphingolipid compositions and quantified interaction kinetics and the affinity of HuNoV virus-like particles (VLPs) to lipid vesicles produced from the individual HIE-lipid extracts. All HIEs had a similar lipid and glycerolipid composition. Sphingolipids included HBGA-related type 1 chain glycosphingolipids (GSLs), with HBGA epitopes corresponding to the geno- and phenotypes of the different HIEs. As revealed by single-particle interaction studies of Sydney GII.4 VLPs with glycosphingolipid-containing HIE membranes, both binding kinetics and affinities explain the patterns of susceptibility toward GII.4 infection for individual HIEs. This is the first time norovirus VLPs have been shown to interact specifically with secretor gene-dependent GSLs embedded in lipid membranes of HIEs that propagate GII.4 HuNoV ex vivo, highlighting the potential of HIEs for advanced future studies of intestinal glycobiology and host-pathogen interactions.

Abstract
The biochemical processes of cell membranes are sensitive to the geometry of the lipid bilayer. We show how plasmonic "nanowells" provide label-free real-time analysis of molecules on membranes with detection of preferential binding at negative curvature. It is demonstrated that norovirus accumulate in invaginations due to multivalent interactions with glycosphingolipids.

Abstract
The epithelial cells of the gastrointestinal tract from different species show a very variable expression of blood group active glycosphingolipids. The core saccharide sequences are typical for the species as, for example, type 1 chains (Gal beta 1----3GlcNAc) are found in the small intestine of man, rat, and pig and type 2 chains (Gal beta 1----4GlcNAc) are found in the small intestine of dog, rabbit, and cat. The mouse is atypical with the ganglioseries as the major core saccharide of the small intestine. Blood group A determinants can be found in the small intestine of man, rat, dog, rabbit, and cat, and the blood group B determinant in man and rabbit. Studies on the blood group active glycosphingolipids along the gastrointestinal tract of rat have revealed a complex distribution. The glandular cells of the stomach and epithelial cells of the large intestine express blood group B active glycosphingolipids. The cores of these are the ganglioseries, and the isogloboseries in the stomach and the lacto- (type 1) and neolactoseries (type 2) in the large intestine. The type 2 component is only expressed as a difucosyl and the type 1 as a monofucosyl compound. The epithelial cells of the small intestine are devoid of blood group B glycolipids, but express blood group H structures of which some has a branched core saccharide. One rat strain is lacking blood group A structures in the small intestine, but another is converting the H precursors to blood group A compounds. Both these strains always express blood group A structures in the large intestine. The expression of blood group A glycosphingolipids in the small intestine is inherited as a dominant trait.

Abstract
Two blood group B-active glycosphingolipids were isolated from rat large intestine and characterized by mass spectrometry, proton NMR spectroscopy and methylation analysis. The following structures were concluded: Gal alpha 1----3(Fuc alpha 1----2)Gal beta 1----3GlcNAc beta 1----3Gal beta 1----4Glc beta 1----1Cer and Gal alpha 1----3(Fuc alpha 1----2)Gal beta 1----4(Fuc alpha 1----3)GlcNAc beta 1----3Gal beta 1----4Glc beta 1----1Cer. The two glycolipids thus differ in their core saccharides (type 1 and type 2 chain, respectively) and therefore must have different pathways for biosynthesis.

Abstract
Glycosphingolipids were shown to persist in human fecal excretions from birth up 2 years of age. The pattern of glycosphingolipids was dependent on blood group and secretor status of the child and changed dramatically during the first months of life. Perinatally cerebroside, hematoside and blood group active fucolipids were dominating among fecal glycolipids. From the time of weaning lactosylceramide abruptly became and then persisted as a dominating glycolipid although cerebroside, complex gangliosides and blood group active fucolipids could still be detected in feces even at 2 years of age.
