Human Galectin-9 Potently Enhances SARS-CoV-2 Replication and Inflammation In Airway Epithelial Cells

Glycovirology

Preprint established that higher concentrations of Galectin-9 led to more infection in terms of SARS-CoV-2 infected cells. The concept is that the Galectin-9 facilitates viral entry at a significantly higher rate than the control. In vitro studies also factored in and measured the expression of TMPRSS and ACE2 for a proper comparison. Reference to Sigamani et al study.
