Abstract excerpt
This study examined the immunocytochemical expression of the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) isoforms TGF-beta1, TGF-beta2, and TGF-beta3, together with the TGF-beta cell surface receptors TbetaR-I and TbetaR-II, in patient-matched tissue pairs of normal human oral epithelium, primary squamous cell carcinomas, and metastatic lymph node tumour deposits. There were no significant differences in the...
