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—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.
March 2024—The Matrix Plus chemistry reference kit and standalone, ultra-high Matrix Plus level F for the calibration verification testing of creatinine assays by enzymatic and colorimetric methods are available from Verichem Laboratories. The ready-to-use reference materials offer constant protein content and pH across all concentration levels. The five-level Matrix Plus kit and level F feature a creatinine range from 0.2 mg/dL to 30.0 mg/dL and are intended to be treated as patient specimens. Shelf life and open-vial stability are 21 months from the manufacturing date.
March 2024—Bio-Rad Laboratories has published the third workbook in a P.A.C.E.-approved series designed to provide lab professionals with the training and education needed to maintain reliable test results. “Quality Control Process Optimization with Cost of Quality Application” focuses on a practical approach of cost of quality to the laboratory workflow process of quality control. After using the workbook, laboratorians will be able to construct a basis worksheet to calculate the failure costs of a selected failed laboratory process.
March 2024—Agilent Technologies announced an agreement with Incyte to develop companion diagnostics in hematology and oncology. The agreement enables Agilent to continue to expand its companion diagnostics portfolio with novel biomarkers and Incyte to leverage Agilent’s expertise in IVD assay development, global regulatory approvals, and commercialization to support clinical trials as well as the potential registration and commercialization of companion diagnostics in the United States and Europe.

The system works by preparing samples for direct susceptibility testing by manual agar disk diffusion.
March 2024—Randox has released its female bladder cancer array, designed to help clinicians stratify patients presenting with hematuria. The array detects interleukin-12p70, interleukin-13, midkine, and clusterin from a single urine sample to determine an individual’s biomarker risk score. A person’s risk for developing bladder cancer is determined by combining the biomarker risk score with clinical risk scores generated using the company’s algorithms.
March 2024—Roche has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire select parts of the LumiraDx group related to LumiraDx’s point-of-care technology. The transaction is expected to close by the middle of this year, after which the acquired entities will be fully integrated into Roche Diagnostics.
