Q:

What additional donor information is available for Lonza’s diseased airway cells?

A:

In addition to the standardly available donor information (age, gender, race), Lonza can provide the following additional information for most lots of our diseased airway cells:

- smoking history (including volume and duration),

- any medications specifically related to the disease,

- duration of the disease,

- if the cause of death was related to the disease,

- and Body Mass Index (BMI).

Occasionally, additional information (including severity of disease or genetic mutations related to the disease) is available; however, this information is not available for all lots. This information is not presented on the Certificate of Analysis. Please contact Scientific Support to inquire about this additional information.
