| Research Abstract |
This study revealed the cell- and stage-specific expression of β-galactoside-binding lectin, galectin, in the female genital system of mice. The expression of galectin is affected by steroids such as estrogen and progesterone and may play an important role in homeostasis and mucosal immunity in the female genital system.
