"Inasmuch as the surface bound TGF-beta was detected by Abs whose target epitopes reside in both active TGF-beta and LAP, it is likely that surface TGF-beta1-positive CD4 + CD25 + T cells bind functionally inactive TGF-beta1 still associated with LAP."

"It is known that interaction of membrane-bound TGF-β1 with CD4 + T cells induces anergy ( xref , xref )."

reach
"However, another study showed that the CD13 + CD4 + CD25 hi Treg subpopulation exhibits stronger suppressive function among CD4 + CD25 hi Treg cells by expressing a higher level of Foxp3, CTLA-4, membrane bound TGF-beta1, and B7H1."

reach
"To determine if TGF-beta1 -/- CD4 + T-cells could bind free latent TGF-beta1, unfractionated CD4 + T-cells were activated for 48h, incubated with human latent TGF-beta1, washed and then stained for human LAP (XREF_FIG)."

reach
"These findings, plus the observation that suppression requires cell-cell contact, lead us to the conclusion that CD4 + CD25 + T cell mediated immunosuppression is mediated by cell surface bound TGF-beta1."
