Galectin-9 interacts with PD-1 and TIM-3 to regulate T cell death and is a target for cancer immunotherapy

Galectin-9 regulates several cellular processes including TIM-3-mediated T cell death. Here the authors show that co-expressed PD-1 protects TIM-3+ T cells from galectin-9-induced cell death and that anti-galectin-9 in combination with GITR agonism promotes an anti-tumor immune response.
