Specifically, those with blood group O have fewer infections and possibly less severe illness than individuals of other blood groups, whereas those with blood group A have greater susceptibility.<\/p><p>One of the tools created with the help of <a href=\"https:\/\/canadianglycomics.ca\/fr\/\">GlycoNet<\/a>\u00a0chercheurs\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ualberta.ca\/science\/about-us\/contact-us\/faculty-directory\/todd-lowary\">Todd Lowary<\/a>\u00a0et \u00e0\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ualberta.ca\/science\/about-us\/contact-us\/faculty-directory\/john-klassen\">John Klassen<\/a>, is a test that hunts for ABO antibodies in blood samples using tiny coloured plastic beads fashioned with the various blood group sugars.<\/p><p>West said the new equipment from this award will dramatically increase the team\u2019s ability to test blood samples from COVID-19 \u201chotspots\u201d for ABO antibodies. The team has also devised a unique antibody panel that allows the research team to determine what blood group sugars, also known as glycans, are found in lung cells.<\/p><p>\u201cIt is well known that glycans have many roles in infection, but we are trying to figure out what are the roles of these specific blood group sugars in COVID-19,\u201d said West, who is also director of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ualberta.ca\/alberta-transplant-institute\/index.html\">Alberta Transplant Institute<\/a> and scientific director of the CIHR-funded <a href=\"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/\">Canadian Donation and Transplantation Research Program<\/a>.<\/p><p>West said early analysis already reveals that different blood group sugars are expressed on lung cells where receptors bind to the COVID-19 virus, which may increase susceptibility to infection in blood group A people. Additional preliminary results from blood samples sent from the hardest-hit areas in the U.S. suggest that blood group O people who contract COVID-19 may have lower levels of potentially protective \u201cnatural\u201d anti-A antibodies than healthy blood group O people.<\/p><p>\u201cThere are still many people with blood group O who get infected, and lots of A people who don&#8217;t get infected,\u201d she noted. \u201cThis new knowledge regarding the blood group sugars and antibodies\u2014it\u2019s only one small step to putting the many puzzle pieces together, but it&#8217;s helpful new knowledge.\u201d<\/p><p>West said with the help of <a href=\"https:\/\/apps.ualberta.ca\/directory\/person\/rgreiner\">Russ Greiner<\/a>, U of A computing science professor, together with the <a href=\"https:\/\/apps.ualberta.ca\/directory\/person\/rgreiner\">Alberta Machine Intelligence Institute<\/a>, the project will also capitalize on the abilities of machine learning and predictive modelling to analyze the huge quantities of new data generated with these new tools.<\/p><p>She added that understanding exactly what the mechanisms are that result in some protection of people with O type blood and some susceptibility of type A people could help turn the tables on COVID-19.\u00a0<\/p><p>\u201cThese further insights could lead to practical impact on preventive and therapeutic approaches for the pandemic,\u201d said West.<\/p><p>She explained this research could change everything from how we develop more effective isolation and quarantine strategies to the creation of convalescent plasma that features boosted levels of anti-A antibodies or glycan-directed vaccines that are more potent. Even the development of molecules to block those sugars is a very real possibility.<\/p><p>\u201cWe are getting intense interest from around the world because they know that this technology is only available at the University of Alberta.\u201d<\/p><p>This article is republished from the\u00a0<a
