Although glycodendrimer concentrations were normalized so that the same concentration of lactoside residues were present at each stage in the assay irrespective of the scaffold generation number, dose-responsive inhibition of galectin-1 mediated cancer cell adhesion was only observed with lactose functionalized G(3)-dendrimer 2 at these concentrations (Figure 7b, and representative images 7e–h, the dose-responsive curve for lower concentrations of 1 is provided in Supporting Information File 1). This evidence concerns the gene LGALS1 and cancer.
