General description

Galectin-9 (Gal-9) is a member of animal lectins that have an affinity to β-galactosides and Forssman pentasaccharide. It is strongly overexpressed in Hodgkin′s disease tissue and it might participate in the interaction between the H&RS cells with their surrounding cells and might thus play a role in the pathogenesis of this disease and/or its consistently associated immunodeficiency. Recombinant Galectin-9 protein was expressed in E.coli and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques.

Physical form

0.5 mg/mL in 20 mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 8.0) containing 1 mM NaCl and 20% glycerol.

Sepsis is a complex immune disorder that is characterized by systemic hyperinflammation. Alarmins, which are multifunctional endogenous factors, have been implicated in exacerbation of inflammation in many immune disorders including sepsis. Here we show that Galectin-9, a host endogenous β-galactoside

Lactulose, a non-digestible oligosaccharide and functional food, promotes Bifidobacteria growth. Here we show that lactulose, beyond its prebiotic action, may have direct immunomodulatory effects as well. In synergy with CpG-ODN, a bacterial DNA mimetic, lactulose enhances basolateral concentrations of IFN-γ
