COMPOSITIONS, KITS, AND METHODS FOR THE DIAGNOSIS, PROGNOSIS, MONITORING, TREATMENT AND MODULATION OF POST-TRANSPLANT LYMPHOPROLIFERATIVE DISORDERS AND HYPOXIA ASSOCIATED ANGIOGENESIS DISORDERS USING GALECTIN-1

摘要

The present invention is based, in part, on the discovery that galectin-1 (Gall) plays a role in viral-associated PTLD, e.g., EBV-associated PTLD and hypoxia associated angiogenesis disorders. Accordingly, the invention relates to compositions, kits, and methods for diagnosing, prognosing, monitoring, treating and modulating viral-associated PTLD, e.g., EBV-associated PTLD and hypoxia associated angiogenesis disorders.
