Interestingly, we found significant correlations existed between Gal-1 and EPX and between Gal-3 and EPX in the liver, between Gal-3 and Ym1 in both the liver and large intestines, and between Gal-3 and CD200R in the peritoneal macrophages of mice suffered from schistosomiasis japonica. The gene discussed is LGALS3; the disease is Schistosomiasis japonica.
