✦ Synopsis

Suppressor T cells down-regulate the activity of other cells in the immune system, and, albeit controversial, are believed to play a role in immunological tolerance and immunoregulation. Significant progress has been made in characterizing suppressor T cells and their receptors, and in elucidating mechanisms of immunosuppression. This knowledge is important for understanding the immune system and certain disease states and for favorably manipulating immunity.

Current immunosuppressive therapy carries a range of unwanted side effects, and tends to penalize the whole immune system. It is desirable to develop therapies that are more selective for antigen-reactive cells. As T lymphocytes use a wide range of surface receptors to interact with antigen-bearing

## Abstract Galectin‐9 (Gal‐9) plays pivotal roles in the modulation of innate and adaptive immunity to suppress T‐cell‐mediated autoimmune models. However, it remains unclear if Gal‐9 plays a suppressive role for T‐cell function in non‐autoimmune disease models. We assessed the effects of Gal‐9 on
