<p>There is provided a composition having an effective amount of N-terminally truncated galectin-3 in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or an effective amount of a nucleic acid sequence encoding N-terminally truncated galectin-3 in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. Also provided by the present invention is a method of treating cancer by administering to a patient in need of such treatment an effective amount of N-terminally truncated galectin-3 in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or an effective amount of a nucleic acid sequence encoding N-terminally truncated galectin-3 in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. The present invention also provides an antibody that specifically binds to carbohydrate ligands of galectin-3. Further, there is provided an anti-cancer treatment having an effective amount of N-terminally truncated galectin-3 and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or an effective amount of nucleic acid sequence encoding N-terminally truncated galectin-3 in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.</p> |
