Gal-3 expression in tumor cells invading metastatic lymph nodes.

	Gal-3+samples (%)	Gal-3 at leading edge (%)
Human	9/9 (100)	2/9 (22)
Mouse	8/13 (62)	2/8 (25)

Number of human and mouse metastatic lymph nodes stained for Gal-3 by immunohistochemistry. Human samples: pelvic lymph nodes from 9 patients. Murine samples: axillary/inguinal lymph nodes from 7 mice challenged with TRAMP-C2 cells. Leading edge refers to intense Gal-3 staining in cancer cells at the interface with lymphocytes in lymph nodes.
