  • Compositions for stimulating TGF-&bgr; activity
    Patent number: 6384189
    Abstract: The invention provides a method of stimulating TGF-&bgr; activity, comprising contacting latent TGF-&bgr; with an amount of an activating peptide from TSP effective to convert latent TGF-&bgr; to active TGF-&bgr;. Also provided is a method of inhibiting the stimulation of TGF-&bgr; activity, comprising contacting latent TGF-&bgr; with an amount of an inhibiting peptide from TSP effective to inhibit conversion of latent of TGF-&bgr; to active TGF-&bgr;. The invention also provides a method of enhancing wound healing, comprising the step of administering to the wound site an amount of an activating peptide from TSP effective to convert latent TGF-&bgr; to active TGF-&bgr;, the activation of TGF-&bgr; resulting in enhanced wound healing.
