pubmed:abstractText |
The usual methods for preparing lungs for morphologic study involve the instillation of fixatives that modifyproteins and RNA such that the tissue is unsuitable for molecular studies. To develop a technique suitable for molecular studies, pieces of adult rat lungs were infiltrated with agarose, glutaraldehyde, or paraformaldehyde and the consistency of alveolar inflation was compared to lungs inflated with 10% formalin. Only direct injection with 1% agarose resulted in comparable inflation of lung tissue and preserved RNA and protein. Thus, this technique enables simultaneous molecular and morphometric analysis of the lung on small pieces of lung tissue in heterogeneous lung diseases.
