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

October 2025—QuidelOrtho Corp. has launched a certified analyzer program designed to expand access to high-quality diagnostic testing in rural and community hospitals across the United States. The program is tailored for clinics, physician office labs, and small hospitals with fewer than 100 beds. Each analyzer in the program undergoes a robust, multipoint certification process at QuidelOrtho’s Rochester, NY, facility. It includes more than 140 system checks, functional adjustments, hardware cleaning or replacement, and extensive performance testing. The program features certified Vitros XT 7600 and 5600 integrated systems and the Vitros 3600 immunodiagnostic system. A 12-month warranty on service and support is included.
October 2025—Randox Laboratories plans to expand its facility in Jefferson County, W. Va., from a 48-person sales and distribution operation to a full-scale production laboratory. The company says the expansion will further increase its annual production of 4.1 billion tests and significantly enhance its capacity to serve customers worldwide, from hospitals, laboratories, and coroners’ offices to food safety testing facilities. The project will create opportunities for local suppliers and service providers. Once complete, the upgraded facility in Kearneysville will produce next-generation diagnostic products and equipment.
