Correlation of donor lung monocyte numbers and activation state with P:F ratios following transplantation. Numbers of monocytes retained in donor lungs post harvest were found to negatively correlate with P:F ratios at 72 hours post implantation (p<0.5) (Aii). Donor lung granulocyte numbers did not correlate with P:F ratios at either 48 or 72 hours (A; iii–iv). Donor lung monocyte activation (CD86 expression) correlated negatively with P:F ratio at 48 hours (Bi). No correlation was seen with granulocyte activation (CD11b), at either time point (B; iii–iv). Data are analysed by Spearman's rank test (showing r values *p<0.05, **p<0.01), n=11–13.
