Galectins play important roles in the host's innate immunity as pattern recognition receptors. In this study, the coding sequences of galectin-2 were identified from Cherry Valley ducks.

The results showed that duGal-2 expression was higher in the gut, kidney, and liver tissue, and weakly expressed in the lung and brain, in healthy ducks; h ...[more]
