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

April 2024—Technoclone and its distributor in the United States, DiaPharma Group, announced that the FDA has granted de novo classification for the Technozym ADAMTS13 Activity ELISA. The assay is intended for the qualitative determination of ADAMTS13 activity in platelet poor human citrated plasma and indicated for use in conjunction with other clinical and laboratory findings as an aid in diagnosing thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura in adult and pediatric patients being evaluated for thrombotic microangiopathy.
April 2024—Bio-Rad Laboratories announced it received My Green Lab certification for its R&D facilities in Irvine, Calif. It has been certified at My Green Lab’s highest rating, green, which reflects the percentage of possible green lab best practices that have been adopted and the extent to which they have been adopted by the lab.
April 2024—Recordati Rare Diseases has introduced its new educational website, thinkimcd.us. The platform is tailored for pathologists, offering comprehensive support for the diagnostic process of idiopathic multicentric Castleman disease (iMCD). The site provides an overview of iMCD diagnostic criteria, practical steps for assessing lymph node biopsies, and links to additional resources for understanding CD/iMCD. Designed to enhance professional awareness and comprehension, thinkimcd.us aims to be a valuable tool for the medical community.
April 2024—Siemens Healthineers now offers the Anti-Müllerian Hormone assay to evaluate ovarian reserve. The assay runs on the Atellica IM analyzer and Advia Centaur immunoassay systems from serum and plasma samples. Results are available in about 28 minutes.
April 2024—Sebia announced it has received FDA 510(k) clearance for its free light chain kappa and lambda assays, intended to aid in diagnosing and monitoring patients who have multiple myeloma and immunoglobulin light chain amyloidosis. The assays quantify kappa or lambda free light chains in human serum using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay procedure. The kits are for in vitro diagnostic use only.
April 2024—StatLab Medical Products announced the acquisition of Poly Scientific R&D, a manufacturer and supplier of pathology stains, reagents, and paraffin for anatomic pathology laboratories. The acquisition includes Histology Control Systems, a division of Poly Scientific that manufactures and supplies tissue control slides.
