Murine CD4 T cells produce a new form of TGF-β as measured by a newly developed TGF-β bioassay.

It is generally assumed that T cells do not produce active TGF-β since active TGF-β as measured in supernatants by ELISA without acidification is usually not detectable. However, it is possible that active TGF-β from T cells may take a special form which is not detectable by ELISA.We constructed a T...
