METHODS OF INHIBITING INFLAMMATION AND INFLAMMATORY DISEASES USING GAL-3BP (BTBD17B, LGALS3BP, GALECTIN-3 BINDING PROTEIN, MAC-2 BINDING PROTEIN)

摘要

The invention provides Galectin-3 binding protein (Gal-3BP, BTBD17B) polypeptides, Gal-3BP compositions, and methods of use, and uses, for example, in treatment, diagnostic, detection and prognostic methods, such as treatment of an undesirable or aberrant immune response, immune disorder, inflammatory response, or inflammation, and treatment of an autoimmune response, disorder or disease.
