In this webinar, we will examine how immune recognition after allogeneic HCT can influence leukemia relapse and disease progression. The session will highlight the clinical relevance of HLA loss of heterozygosity (LOH), approaches used for its detection, and how LOH findings may support transplant strategies, including considerations for donor selection in subsequent transplantation.
Webinar presenter Alberto Cardoso Martins Lima, PhD, Clinical consulting scientist in histocompatibility,
specializing in allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) at IGEN/AFIP São Paulo and CHC/UFPR in Curitiba, Brazil

June 2023—Zeus Scientific has introduced the Zeus Borrelia Modified Two-Tiered Testing (MTTT) algorithm, an FDA-cleared all-ELISA algorithm designed to improve the detection of early Lyme disease by up to 30 percent compared with the standard two-tiered testing algorithm. It replaces a second-tier immunoblot with a second Zeus ELISA methodology to provide additional supportive evidence of infection. The company offers two algorithms: Zeus Borrelia MTTT-1 uses the Zeus ELISA Borrelia VlsE1/pepC10 IgG/IgM test system as a first-tier test followed by the Zeus B. burgdorferi IgG/IgM test system; Zeus Borrelia MTTT-2 uses the Zeus ELISA Borrelia VlsE1/pepC10 IgG/IgM test system as a first-tier test followed by the Zeus B. burgdorferi IgG test system and Zeus B. burgdorferi IgM test system.
June 2023—Siemens Healthineers launched two solutions for high-volume hematology testing, the Atellica Hema 570 analyzer and Atellica Hema 580 analyzer. Both have a throughput rate of up to 120 tests per hour. The Atellica Hema 570 measures 43 cell parameters and an additional 12 parameters are available on the Hema 580, including immature red blood cell indicators relevant to certain patient populations and an optical-based platelet count that reduces analytical interferences found in other detection technologies. Their user-friendly designs aim to reduce daily maintenance while supporting rapid reagent changes.
June 2023—Thermo Fisher Scientific announced the FDA has cleared the Thermo Scientific Brahms PlGF Plus Kryptor and Brahms sFlt-1 Kryptor novel biomarkers, both of which received breakthrough designation from the FDA.
June 2023—LGC SeraCare has developed a comprehensive solid tumor copy number variation reference material in a formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded format. The Seraseq FFPE Solid Tumor CNV RM includes 12 clinically relevant CNVs associated with solid tumors. Amplifications of these target genes are quantitated by digital PCR, blended in a well-characterized genomic background, and validated with next-generation sequencing. One 10-μm FFPE curl is provided per vial, and the product is designed to give a minimum yield of 100 ng per curl.
