Differential Lysotracker Uptake Defines Two Populations of Distal Epithelial Cells in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis. Differential Lysotracker Uptake Defines Two Populations of Distal Epithelial Cells in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis

For this project alveolar epithelial type-II cells (AT-II) were FACS sorted from 8 donor lungs and 6 fibrotic lungs. The main goals of this experiment is to identify differences in transcriptional programms in AT-II cells from human donor and IPF patients. Overall design: A total of 14 independent samples (8 from donor lungs, 6 from IPF lungs) were hybridized on Agilent Whole-transcriptome arrays.
