Under conditions of endotoxemia, the levels of membrane-bound Gal3 statistically decreased in all the immune cell subsets with the exception of CD8+ T-cells, CD4+ T-cells, and DCs, which only showed a trend (p = 0.2, p = 0.056 and p = 0.056, respectively) to a reduction of levels of Gal3 after the LPS exposure (Figure 2). This evidence concerns the gene CD8A and serum lipopolysaccharide activity.
