Abstract
Within the past three years there has been a rapid expansion in our knowledge of the role TGF-beta mediates in regulating immune responses in vitro. Whether the TGF-beta will be clinically useful to suppress immune responses to transplanted organs or autoimmune responses is unknown. However, now that highly purified quantities of TGF-beta are available through recombinant DNA technologies, questions concerning the in vivo immunosuppressive activities of TGF-beta can be answered.Keywords
