| Abstrakt: |
In posttransplant obliterative bronchiolitis (OB), the major pathologic features are inflammation, epithelial cell injury, fibrosis, and obliteration of the small airways. Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)- is a cytokine known to mediate and augment the inflammatory reaction and to enhance fibroblast proliferation. We assessed the role of TNF- in the development of OB in our heterotopic porcine bronchial transplantation model. |
