First sentence: The long range objective of organ preservation research is to preserve organs for 1 week or more, since this may increase the number of available organs, allow the establishment of organ banks, provide the opportunity to alter the antigenicity of the organ and provide time to the recipient in a way that might alter immunogenicity.
