Abstract
Matrix metalloproteinase-2, and especially matrix metalloproteinase-9, gene activity was associated with onset of inflammation and fibroblastic proliferation in allografts, predicting early obliteration. Although this may be the case in the model described, its role in human-allograft post-transplant obliterative bronchiolitis requires further supportive data.
