Cell Surface Galectin-9 Expressing Th Cells Regulate Th17 and Foxp3(+) Treg Development by Galectin-9 Secretion

Galectin-9 (Gal-9), a β-galactoside binding mammalian lectin, regulates immune responses by reducing pro-inflammatory IL-17-producing Th cells (Th17) and increasing anti-inflammatory Foxp3(+) regulatory T cells (Treg) in vitro and in vivo. These functions of Gal-9 are thought to be exerted by bindin...
