Transforming growth factors (TGFs) are peptides that affect the growth and phenotype of cultured cells and bring about in nonmalignant fibroblastic cells phenotypic properties that resemble those of malignant cells. Two types of TGFs have been well characterized. One of these, TGFa, is related to ep
The autocrine hypothesis of neoplastic transformation originally stated that transformed cells escaped normal growth restraints by the production of and autostimulation by endogenous growth factors. This hypothesis followed the demonstration by DeLarco and Todaro [l] that murine sarcoma virus-transf
Transforming growth factor-$, was localized by means of immunohistochemical reaction in liver biopsy specimens taken from patients having different chronic liver diseases with extending fibrosis. Two polyclonal antibodies that were produced in rabbits were directed against the amino terminal of tran
## Abstract Transforming growth factors (TGFs) are growthβpromoting polypeptides that cause phenotypic transformation and anchorageβindependent growth of normal cells. They have been isolated from several human and animal carcinoma and sarcoma cells. One TGF is sarcoma growth factor (SGF) which is
