Full-Length Galectin-3 Is Required for High Affinity Microbial Interactions and Antimicrobial Activity

While adaptive immunity enables the recognition of a wide range of microbial antigens, immunological tolerance limits reactively toward self to reduce autoimmunity. Some bacteria decorate themselves with self-like antigens as a form of molecular mimicry to limit recognition by adaptive immunity. Rec...
