1. A method of identifying nucleic acid ligands to transforming growth factor beta (TGFβ

  • ) comprising;

    a) preparing a candidate mixture of nucleic acids;

    b) contacting the candidate mixture of nucleic acids with TGFβ

    , wherein nucleic acids having an increased affinity to TGFβ

    relative to the candidate mixture may be partitioned from the remainder of the candidate mixture;

    c) partitioning the increased affinity nucleic acids from the remainder of the candidate mixture; and

    d) amplifying the increased affinity nucleic acids to yield a mixture of nucleic acids enriched for nucleic acid sequences with relatively higher affinity and specificity for binding to TGFβ

    , whereby nucleic acid ligands of TGFβ

    may be identified.
