摘要: Galectin-1, a β-galactoside-binding soluble lectin, has been implicated in regulating immune system homeostasis. We investigated the function of galectin-1 plasma cell differentiation and found that it is induced primary murine human differentiating B cells. lymphocyte-induced maturation protein-1 (Blimp-1), master regulator for differentiation, was necessary sufficient to induce expression. Notably, ectopic expression mature cells increased Ig μ-chain transcript levels as well overall level production. This dependent on binding surface glycosylated counter receptors, mutant deficient β-galactoside showed diminished ability promote Extracellular bound more significantly than Lastly, we sugar compound N -acetyllactosamine blocked splenic inhibited their differentiation. Taken together, these data are first demonstrate role promoting production during
