TGF-β also converts effector T-cells, which normally attack cancer with an inflammatory (immune) reaction, into regulatory (suppressor) T-cells, which turn off the inflammatory reaction.
O TGF-β tamén converte as células T efectoras, que noirmalmente atacan o cancro cunha reacción inflamatoria (inmune), en células T reguladoras (supresoras), que paran a reacción inflamatoria.
