Abstract

In this issue of Science Signaling, Jackson et al. present a new antibody strategy to—quite literally—strap transforming growth factor–β1 (TGF-β1) to latent complexes in the extracellular matrix. The antibody has no effect on latent TGF-β1 presented on the surface of immune cells and thus allows targeting of the detrimental effects of TGF-β1 in fibrosis without affecting its beneficial immune-suppressing activities.

为 TGF-β1 紧身衣提供更多魔术贴：一种新型抗体将潜伏的 TGF-β1 绑在基质上。

在本期《科学信号》（Science Signaling）杂志上，杰克逊（Jackson）等人提出了一种新的抗体策略，可以将转化生长因子-β1（TGF-β1）与细胞外基质中的潜伏复合物紧密结合。这种抗体对免疫细胞表面潜伏的 TGF-β1 没有影响，因此可以在不影响 TGF-β1 有利的免疫抑制活性的情况下，针对纤维化中 TGF-β1 的有害影响进行治疗。
