## Abstract Triptolide (TPT), a diterpenoid triepoxide, is the major component isolated from the Chinese herb __Tripterygium wilfordii__ Hook. f. Previous studies have shown that TPT has immunosuppressive properties and is effective in prolonging graft survival and suppressing autoimmune responses.
We previously reported that recovery of Lewis rats from experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) is associated with the appearance of suppressor T cells (Ts). These Ts secrete TGF-beta which down-regulates the production of inflammatory cytokines by the effector T cells that mediate this dise
## Abstract Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) is a pleiotropic cytokine able to evoke a wide array of cellular responses including proliferation, migration, and survival through activation of its receptor cβmet. Various types of leukocytes have been described to express cβmet suggesting that HGF/cβmet
