Abstract: Specific binding members, particularly antibodies and fragments thereof, which bind to transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-?1) are provided, particularly recognizing human and mouse TGF-?1 and not recognizing or binding TGF-?2 or TGF-?3. Particular antibodies are provided which specifically recognize and neutralize TGF-?1. These antibodies are useful in the diagnosis and treatment of conditions associated with activated or elevated TGF-?1, including cancer, and for modulating immune cells and immune response, including immune response to cancer or cancer antigens. The anti-TGF-?1 antibodies, variable regions or CDR domain sequences thereof, and fragments thereof may also be used in therapy in combination with chemotherapeutics, immune modulators, or anti-cancer agents and/or with other antibodies or fragments thereof. Antibodies of this type are exemplified by the novel antibodies hereof, including antibody 13A1, whose sequences are provided herein.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to a T cell growth factor. More particularly, the present invention relates to a T cell growth factor which comprises a glycoprotein which supports interleukin 2- and interleukin 4-independent growth of helper T cells especially from murine and human sources and further which is capable of augmenting proliferation of IL3- or IL4-responsive cells. Even more particularly, the present invention relates to the helper T cell growth factor P40, pharmaceutical compositions thereof, antibodies thereto and recombinant DNA clones thereof. The present invention also contemplates a method for inducing the proliferation of helper T cells as well as IL3- and Il4-responsive cells. The helper T cells growth factor contemplated herein is useful in the stimulation of specific cells in the immune system, either alone or in combination with IL3 or IL4.
