Galectins are a family of animal lectins with diverse biological activities. They function both
extracellularly, by interacting with cell-surface and extracellular matrix glycoproteins and …

Galectins are a family of animal lectins that bind β-galactosides. Outside the cell, galectins
bind to cell-surface and extracellular matrix glycans and thereby affect a variety of cellular …

Many galectin family members are detected primarily intracellularly in most of the systems
studied, although certain members can be found both inside and outside of cells. Specific …

With the rapid explosion of genomic sequence databases, there has been an equivalent
boom in genomics, the use of sequence information to define and compare gene families …

Recent evidence has implicated galectins and their ligands as master regulators of immune
cell homeostasis. Whereas some members of this family, such as galectin-3, behave as …

This is the second edition of our little red book Lectins published in 1989. In the intervening
years well over 10,000 articles have appeared with lectins as the main subject, and more …

Galectins are β‐galcotosid‐binding lectins. The function of galectins varies with their tissue‐
specific and subcellular location, and their binding to carbohydrates makes them key players …

Carbohydrates are known to mediate a large number of biological and pathological events.
Small and macromolecules capable of carbohydrate recognition have great potentials as …

Our aim is to identify as many candidates as possible for tumor-associated T-cell epitopes in
individual patients. First, we performed expression profiling of tumor and normal tissue to …

Galectins are members of a highly conserved family of β-galactoside-binding animal lectins.
Presently, more than 14 members have been identified and additional homologues are …
