Galectin-3 is a kind of β-galactoside-binding lectin involved in host defense against
pathogen infection. However, the immune functions of fish galectin-3 remain poorly …

Background: Toxic hepatitis may clinically manifest as other diseases of the liver, where it
must always be considered in differential diagnoses of unexplained liver damage, such as …

Fish β-galactoside binding lectin (galectin) cDNA was cloned from the cDNA library of
rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) head kidney. The clone contained a single open …

Lectins are proteins or glycoproteins of non-immunological origin capable of reversibly and
specifically binding to glycoconjugates. They exist in free form or associated with cells and …

Background. Asthma is a disorder characterized by a predominance of Th2 cells and
eosinophilic inflammation. Suppressors of cytokine signaling (SOCS) proteins act as …

Background & Aims: Alterations in the production of the β-galactoside binding protein
galectin-3 and of MUC2 intestinal mucin have been independently correlated with the …

Three canine cell lines, K1, K6 and DH82, derived from canine malignant neoplasms, were
characterised. They were examined for expression of surface antigens, cytokines …

Galectin‐3 is a member of the galectin family of β‐galactoside‐specific animal lectins. Here
we show that galectin‐3 is constitutively expressed in 15 out of 16 glioma cell lines tested …

Galectins are a family of evolutionarily conserved animal lectins, widely distributed from
lower invertebrates to mammals. They share sequence and structure similarities in the …

Galectin-3 is a β-galactoside-binding protein with an inhibitory role in B cell differentiation
into plasma cells in distinct lymphoid tissues. We use a model of chronic schistosomiasis, a …
