The goal of the UCSF Mouse Lung Transplant Core is to provide specialized surgical services for investigators interested in modeling lung transplant complications in mice. We are skilled in the following lung surgeries in mice or rats:
- Orthotopic, single-lung transplantation
- Orthotopic, single-lung transplantation model of Primary Graft Dysfunction (Prolonged Cold Ischemia)
- Hilar-clamp model of lung ischemia-reperfusion injury
- Heterotopic tracheal transplantation
- Orthotopic tracheal transplantation
- Pneumonectomy
We also has experience in rodent heart, kidney, liver, and small bowel transplantations.
For interested investigators, please send an email to Mark Looney ([email protected]) with a brief description of the proposed project.
