Tacrolimus 44-54 transforming growth factor beta 1 Homo sapiens 182-190 10972232-5 2000 RESULTS: In this study, we report that rapamycin in combination with either tacrolimus or cyclosporine significantly inhibited the lymphocyte proliferation, IL-2 expression, and induced TGF-beta, compared with these drugs alone. Tacrolimus 76-86 transforming growth factor beta 1 Homo sapiens 186-194
