Title: TGF-.beta. antagonists as mitigators of radiation-induced tissue damage

Patent ·
OSTI ID:870891

A method for treating tissue damage caused by radiation is described by use of a TGF-.beta. antagonist, such as an anti-TGF-.beta. antibody or a TGF-.beta. latency associated protein. It is administered not more than a week after exposure, and is particularly useful in mitigating the side effects of breast cancer therapy.
