Abstract excerpt
This in vitro study was aimed at restitution of transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta 2-mediated suppression of T-lymphocyte activation within malignant gliomas. In early-passage tumor cell cultures of two glioblastomas (HTZ-153 and HTZ-209) and one malignant astrocytoma classified as World Healt...
