2.	Lymphatic Metastasis 10/01/1996 - "Prognosis is associated with the cell type, presence of lymph node metastases and heparin-binding lectin (HBL), certain cytometric and structural features, and binding of macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) and beta-N-acetyl-D-galactosamine (beta-GalNAc). "

4.	Cystic Fibrosis (Mucoviscidosis) 07/01/1991 - "Endogenous heparin-binding lectin purified from postmortem lung samples of two cystic fibrosis (CF) patients was compared to lectin derived from normal tissue with respect to structure, carbohydrate specificity, interaction with alginate derived from CF isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and secretion within the lung. "
5.	Breast Neoplasms (Breast Cancer) 08/01/1999 - "Together with data on the heparin-binding lectin, revealing reduced expression to be associated with a positive lymph-node status in the breast cancer group, these results can be interpreted to reflect cell-type-dependent requirements of galectin ligand presentation during the metastatic cascade.
