The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (00) )

3 Fig 2 Immunohistochemical staining for complement (C3) showing deposition in a pattern outlining capillary walls from a patient with a high PRA. This staining is evidence of humoral-mediated lung injury. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (00) )

4 Fig 3 Histopathologic examination of biopsy from same patient as Figure 2 showing marked alveolar capillaritis accompanied by endothelial swelling and margination of inflammatory cells (hematoxylin and eosin, ×520). The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (00) )
