Declarations
:
: All methods were carried out in accordance with the approved guidelines. Experiments used human airway epithelial cells, re-differentiated at the air-liquid interface (ALI). These cells will be isolated from appropriately consented donors whose lungs were found unsuitable for transplantation through the University of Miami Life Alliance Organ Recovery Agency, as detailed below. We recruited no subjects. A signed consent form from each individual (or legal healthcare proxy) for donating the lungs for research is on file with the Life Alliance Organ Recovery Organization. Since the material was obtained from dead individuals with minor, de-identified information, using this type of tissue does not constitute human subjects research as defined by CFR 46.102 as determined by our IRB.
: Not applicable. A signed consent of each individual (or legal healthcare proxy) for the donation of the lungs for research is on file with the Life Alliance Organ Recovery Organization.
