Review: Role of Transforming Growth Factor Beta (TGFß) in Systemic AutoimmunityThe Hospital for Special Surgery, The New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center, New York, USA
The Hospital for Special Surgery, The New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center, New York, USA Transforming growth factor (TGFß) is a multifunctional cytokine with proinflammatory as well as immunosuppressive activities. A regulatory role for TGFß has been suggested in investigations of several experimental and spontaneous models of pathological autoreactivity. It is suggested that many of the functional effects of TGFß parallel the major immune system abnormalities seen in SLE.
