The levels of galectin-3 (Gal-3) protein, which contribute to the immunosuppression, are increased during tumor progression in many cancers. Gal-3 contributes to immunosuppression by inducing M2 (wound healing) polarization of tumor-associated macrophages and playing a role in the survival and metastasis of cancer cells. 000008068 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000008068 650__ $$aGalectin 3$$034835 000008068 650__ $$aImmunotherapy$$020724 000008068 650__ $$aImmunohistochemistry$$020708 000008068 6531_ $$acd8 positive t lymphocytes 000008068 6531_ $$aimmunology 000008068 6531_ $$at8 lymphocyte 000008068 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000008068 692__ $$aDepartment of Cell, Developmental and Cancer Biology$$041399 000008068 7001_ $$aAmani, Mohammad F. 000008068 8564_ $$924c08ab5-2759-4adc-b834-113b25d99031$$s38161805$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/8068/files/Amani.Mohammad.2020.pdf 000008068 905__ $$a/rest/prod/j3/86/07/62/j3860762v 000008068 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:8068$$pstudent-work 000008068 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
