Immune injury to airway epithelium is suggested to play a central role in the pathogenesis of obliterative bronchiolitis (OB) after clinical lung transplantation. In several studies, a rejection model of murine trachea transplants is used, resulting in obliterative airway disease (OAD) with similarities to human OB. To focus on the role of an immune response specifically against airway epithelium, we transplanted tracheas from transgenic mice expressing human epithelial glycoprotein (hEGP) on epithelial cells. We hypothesized that the immune response against the hEGP-2 antigen would result in OAD in the trachea transplants.
