SIGLECs are a family of type I transmembrane proteins that are predominantly expressed by hemopoietic cells and they play critical roles in immune cell signalling and discrimination of self and nonself. The SIGLECs act as checkpoints in immune responses in human diseases including cancer, asthma, allergy, neurodegeneration, and autoimmune diseases and are being investigated as therapeutic targets [3-4].
