For an organ to be suitable for transplant the donor has to be biologically compatible with the patient, otherwise the transplant could cause an immune response and organ rejection. Because of the importance of a good match, often an organ has to be transported a long distance to reach the patient in need. Organs are usually transported coated in ice in order to slow down the biological processes and keep them fresh for transplant.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://thefutureofthings.com/news/6276/frozen-organs-live-longer.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/thefutureofthings.com/img/F0E2FA00-1A11-4238-BB81-8E48D09EDC47" alt="Teleost Fish (Credit: United States Department of Agriculture)" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://thefutureofthings.com/news/6276/frozen-organs-live-longer.html"><CENTER>Teleost Fish (Credit: United States
