Summary
ASSAYS TO DETERMINE THE VIABILITY OF PRESERVED ORGANS IDEALLY MUST MEET 2 IMPORTANT REQUIREMENTS: (I) IN THE CLINICAL ENVIRONMENT, THEY SHOULD ALLOW THE SURGEON TO DETERMINE IF AN ORGAN WILL BE VIABLE WHEN IT IS TRANSPLANTED, AND (II) IN THE RESEARCH ENVIRONMENT, THEY SHOULD AID IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF IMPROVED METHODS OF ORGAN PRESERVATION. CURRENTLY, HOWEVER, THE ONLY RELIABLE MEANS OF ASSESSING VIABILITY IS ACTUAL TRANSPLANTATION. MANY CONVENTIONAL BIOCHEMICAL AND PHYSIOLOGICAL TECHNIQUES HAVE BEEN USED TO DESCRIBE THE MECHANISM OF PRESERVATION-INDUCED INJURY AND TO HELP IMPROVE PRESERVATION.
