Abstract excerpt
TGFbeta can modulate neuroblastoma (NB) cell proliferation and differentiation in vitro. In this study we used a NB cell line (LAN-5) which has been shown to partially respond to TGFbeta and to present high levels of TGFbeta receptor type I and low levels of receptor type II (TbetaRII) on the cell surface. To evaluate the role of TbetaRII in mediating TGFbeta effects, LAN-5 cells were transfected with an...
