title: The role of transforming growth factor-{beta} in a model of oral tolerance to the diet antigen dextrin.
abstract: In a model of immunodeficiency provoked by protein deficiency, cytosol fractions from gut IELS isolated from immunodeficient rats presenting oral tolerance to dextrin showed increased expression of TGF-beta to reduce the effect of higher levels of inflammatory cytokines.
