ABSTRACT:
Methods for modulating the expression of inflammatory cytokines in the central nervous system comprising administering an effective amount of TGF-.beta. are disclosed. The methods include suppressing pro-inflammatory cytokines in the central nervous system by administering an effective amount of TGF-.beta. and inducing anti-inflammatory cytokines in the central nervous system by administering an effective amount of TGF-.beta..
