TUNEL assay was performed to assess intestinal epithelial cell apoptosis in intestinal grafts after 24 hours of cold storage. A higher degree of TUNEL staining was evident in grafts preserved with histidine-tryptophan-ketoglutarate (HTK) alone (A, A′) compared with those preserved in HTK containing 5% PEG 15–20 (B, B′). (C) Apoptosis score of donor intestinal grafts preserved in either HTK (■) or HTK containing 5% PEG 15–20 (□). n=10 donor grafts, *p<0.05. The examples of apoptosis score analysis are displayed in A′ and B′ panels.
