Expression of Human Lung Before and After Transplantation

Ischemia reperfusion induced injury contributes to poor lung transplant outcomes. We used microarrays to study the biological response of human lungs to the ischemia reperfusion process. Samples were collected from lung transplant cases at Toronto General Hospital. Lungs were donation after brain death (DBD) Expression data from peripheral human lung biopsies at the end of cold ischemia and after two hours of reperfusion following transplantation
