Abstract

The Pathology Core will provide the needed necropsy and slide preparation services for all the projects inthe application. Lung pathology interpretation, grading of lesions using appropriate quantitaive analyses andmaintaining a database of the pathological findings are planned. Immunochemical and histochemicalpreparations of designated lungs will be done and analysed to further clarify and expand potentialpathogenetic features of the lesions. Whole lung collagen and elastin determinations willl be done in order tocorrelate biochemical findings with the histopathological findings. These data will augment and facilitate theresearch goals outlined in the four projects.
