Abstract
A method is provided for the treatment of grafts such as tissue or organs prior to transplantation into a suitable host. The grafts are incubated, coated, or perfused with TGF-.beta. for an effective time for the uptake of the agent into the grafts and induction of its biological effects. The thus-treated graft is then transplanted into a compatible host, preferably a human host.
