JORMA KESKI-OJA Two types of transforming growth factors (TGF) have been purified and well characterized, TGFa and TGFP. TGFa is a 5.6 kD single chain molecule that shows sequence homology to epidermal growth factor (EGF), binds to the EGF receptor, and has biological effects very similar to those o
Transforming growth factor-b (TGF-b) is known to mediate pleiotropic functions both inside and outside the immune system. Recent progress in this field underlines the role of TGF-b in regulatory T (Treg) cells, where it participates in both suppression and differentiation. In addition, recent inform
Stimulation of quiescent cultures of AKR-2B cells with transforming growth factor type P (TGFP) resulted in a transitory increase in actin cytoplasmic poly(A) + RNA. Levels of actin rnRNA peaked approximately 4-8 hours subsequent to TGFP addition and approached basal levels by 24 hours. The accumula
