Gene Expression Profiling of Bronchoalveolar Lavage Cells in Acute Lung Rejection

Abstract excerpt

Lung transplantation is effective for many diseases that are unresponsive to other therapy. However, long-term survival of recipients is limited by the development of bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome. Acute rejection is a major risk factor for bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome, but noninvasive biomarkers have not been identified. To address this deficiency, gene expression microarrays were performed using...
