Early diagnosis of rejection and timely immunosuppression are absolutely important in clinical lung transplantation. We studied surface markers of peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL), graft...
Evaluation of the viability of the canine cadaver lung for transplantation. (2007)
Kayano, Koichi, Date, Hiroshi, Uno, Koji, Shimizu, Nobuyoshi, Teramoto, Shigeru
We evaluated the viability of the cadaver lung and the effect of lung inflation with 100% oxygen using a canine allotransplantation model. Donor animals were killed by potassium chloride (KCl)...
