From: The N- and C-terminal carbohydrate recognition domains of Haemonchus contortus galectin bind to distinct receptors of goat PBMC and contribute differently to its immunomodulatory functions in host-parasite interactions

rMNh was much more effective than rMCh in suppressing nitric oxide production of PBMC. PBMC were activated with ConA and incubated at the same time with 40 μg/ml recombinant proteins or recombinant empty protein pET32a (control) at 37 °C and 5% CO2. The nitrite concentration was measured by using the Griess assay and used as an indicator of nitric oxide production by the PBMC. PBMC used for all replicates of distinct treatments in each experimental repetition were derived from the same goat. Results presented here are representative of three independent experiments. Data are presented as the mean ± SD, **P < 0.001 vs the control group, a capped line designates two groups that differ significantly (*P < 0.01, **P < 0.001)
