Abstract. This study describes the identification of aqueous-soluble antigens in Leishmania promastigotes immunologically and biochemically closely related to the major surface antigen. Proteins from surface-iodinated L. ...

Galectin-8 (Gal-8) is a mammalian lectin endowed with immunostimulatory ability. In the present work, we demonstrate that Gal-8-glycan interactions on the surface of antigen-presenting cells (APCs) promote antigen binding ...
