Retinoblastoma cells are resistant to transforming growth factor-b (TGF-b) activity due to the absence of TGF-b binding. To further elucidate the mechanism of TGF-b resistance, we studied the expression of the TGF-b receptors and SMADs by using the Y79 and WERI-Rb-1 retinoblastoma cell lines. Bindin
