Regarding Gal-1, although this lectin is a cervical epithelial cell receptor for the sexually transmitted parasite Trichomonas vaginalis and can promote HIV-1 absorption to CD4+ T cells and macrophages facilitating the infection [36], [37], in this work we observed no effect on C. rodentium colonisation of the mucosal epithelium. The gene discussed is LGALS1; the disease is infection.
