Accreditation Statement:
This activity has been planned and implemented in accordance with the
Essential Areas and policies of the Accreditation Council for Continuing
Medical Education (ACCME) through the joint sponsorship of the Federation of
American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB) and the American Society
for Investigative Pathology (ASIP). FASEB is accredited by the ACCME to
provide continuing medical education for physicians.
FASEB designates this educational activity for a maximum of 50 AMA PRA

commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.
To receive credit for this journal-based CME activity, participants must
answer questions based on selected articles in Volume 172 and 173 of AJP
(calendar year 2008) and achieve a cumulative score of at least 75%
(correct answers to at least 38 of the 50 questions in the annual program)
in addition to completing an evaluation form.
Disclosure Policy: The Federation requires that participants of FASEB-sponsored
educational programs be informed of an author’s academic and professional
affiliation and the existence of any significant financial interest or other
relationship with the manufacturer(s) of any commercial product(s) mentioned
in the educational activity. This policy allows the reader to be fully
knowledgeable in evaluating the information being presented. Disclosure
includes any relationship that may bias one’s representation or which, if
known, could give the perception of bias. The American Journal of
Pathology requires that authors certify any affiliations (e.g.,
employment, consultancies, stock ownership, honoraria, expert testimony)
with any organization or entity with a direct financial interest in the
