“…According to reports, LGALS9 binds to Tim-3 and induces apoptosis by inducing T-helper 1 cell death via intracellular calcium current. Thus, this leads to induction of immune tolerance and inhibition of T-helper 1 and T-helper 17 cells responses [ 56 ]. It was demonstrated that inhibiting the LGALS9 /Tim-3 pathway elicits anti-tumor immune responses and hampers the development of tumors [ 57 ].…”
