Figure 9. Lung tissue collection.

(A) For the donor’s or recipient’s native lobes, the superior lobe and post-caval lobe can be snap frozen for protein or RNA expression analyses, the middle lobe can be preserved for histology, and the inferior lobe can be used for wet-to-dry weight ratio. (B) For the transplanted lobe, collect the upper region for snap frozen, middle region for histology, or lower region for wet-to-dry weight ratio.
