| Research Abstract |
It has been reported that the activation of Th17 cells is one of the genesis of autoimmune inflammation. Galectin-9, which is a B-galactoside binding animal lectin inhibits the differentiation of Th17 cells from naive helper T cells. The inhibitory effect of galectin-9 on Th17 differentiation is exerted by binding to the O-linked protein that is relatively specific. Furthermore helper T cells that express galectin-9 on the surface highly secrete galectin 9, and inhibit the differentiation Th17 cells.
