Figure 1:

(A) Western blot of exosomal proteins, transcription factors CIITA, NFkB, 20S proteasome and PIGR, from LTxRs with stable LTxRs (S1-S3), or RAS (R1-R4) and BOS (B1-B4). (B) Densitometry and statistical analysis of western blots for stable n=5, RAS n=13 and BOS n=14. CD9 in the figure is used to normalize the blots for CIITA, NFkB, PIGR and 20S proteasome. All the graphs are represented as dot plots with Mean (Longest horizontal line) and SD (Vertical Bar Line). *p<0.05, **p<0.01 and ***p<0.001. BOS, bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome; RAS, restrictive allograft syndrome
