1 Do mature pulmonary lobes grow after transplantation into an immature recipient? 
Lennart F Duebener, MD, Yutaka Takahashi, MD, Hiromi Wada, MD, Stefan A Tschanz, MD, Peter H Burri, MD, Hans-Joachim Schäfers, MD  The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  Volume 68, Issue 4, Pages (October 1999) DOI: /S (99)

2 Fig 1 Chest roentgenogram of transplanted animal No. 2. (A) (left panel), Postoperative day 27. (B) (right panel), Postoperative day 98. The lobar graft filled the left hemithorax. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (99) )

3 Fig 2 Hematoxylin and eosin stained tissue sections. (A) Low-power view of (native) right lung parenchyma. Original magnification ×36. (B) Parenchyma of left lower lobe transplant. A marked increase in alveolar airspace can be observed. Original magnification ×36, bar = 500 μm. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (99) )

4 Fig 3 Scanning electron micrographs. (A) (Native) right lung parenchyma. Original magnification ×104. (B) Parenchyma of left lower lobe transplant. Note the increase in alveolar diameter. Original magnification ×104, bar = 100 μm. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (99) )

5 Fig 4 Transmission electron micrographs. (A) (Native) right lung parenchyma. Original magnification ×4338. (B) Parenchyma of left lower lobe transplant. No ultrastructural alterations of air-blood barrier can be observed. Original magnification ×4338, bar = 3 μm. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (99) )

6 Fig 5 Relative airspace (%) of alveolar region. (Control = adult control; Tx = transplanted animals.) The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (99) )
