Blood group A enhances SARS-CoV-2 infection
Antibody-mediated antigen loss switches augmented immunity to antibody-mediated immunosuppression
Whole microbe arrays accurately predict interactions and overall antimicrobial activity of galectin-8 toward distinct strains of Streptococcus pneumoniae
Galectin-9 recognizes and exhibits antimicrobial activity toward microbes expressing blood group–like antigens
Innate immune Galectin-7 specifically targets microbes that decorate themselves in blood group-like antigens
The SARS-CoV-2 receptor-binding domain preferentially recognizes blood group A
Full-Length Galectin-3 Is Required for High Affinity Microbial Interactions and Antimicrobial Activity
