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
Moderated by: Bob McGonnagle, Publisher, CAP TODAY

November 2022—Bio-Rad Laboratories has collaborated with Beckman Coulter to offer InteliQ load-and-go quality controls for use on Beckman Coulter DxC AU and AU series clinical chemistry analyzers.
November 2022—Siemens Healthineers announced that its Innovance VWF Ac assay is available to U.S. laboratories for use on the company’s BCS XP system and on Sysmex CS-2500 and CS-5100 hemostasis analyzers.
November 2022—Roche announced that the FDA has granted 510(k) clearance for the Cobas SARS-CoV-2 Qualitative PCR test for use on the automated Cobas 6800 and Cobas 8800 systems. It is a real-time RT-PCR test intended for the qualitative detection of nucleic acids from SARS-CoV-2 in nasal and nasopharyngeal swab specimens collected from symptomatic patients who are suspected of having COVID-19 by their health care provider. The single-well, dual-target assay includes specific detection of SARS-CoV-2 and pan-sarbecovirus detection for the sarbecovirus subgenus that includes SARS-CoV-2.
November 2022—Traceable announced it has updated four of its products—a refrigerator/freezer digital thermometer with probe, a thermohygrometer with clock, a three-channel timer with alarm, and a four-channel timer with clock—to be more user friendly, economical, and higher performing. The updates are based on feedback that the company gathered from customer focus groups and industry conversations to learn how clinics, laboratories, academic institutions, logistics companies, and other organizations use its products.
November 2022—Verichem Laboratories announced the availability of a ready-to-use set of multilevel clinical reference materials for the calibration and calibration verification of ethanol assays on a range of diagnostic testing systems. The protein-based liquid standards are free of surfactants, glycols, azides, and other interfering substances. Each kit contains 5 mL of material per vial at the six available concentration levels and has a shelf life of 18 months when stored at 2° to 8°C. The product also contains a known linear relation for acetaminophen, lactate, and salicylate.
November 2022—Thermo Fisher Scientific announced it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the Binding Site Group from a shareholder group led by European private equity firm Nordic Capital.

November 2022—Hamamatsu Photonics announced that the FDA granted 510(k) clearance to market the NanoZoomer S360MD high-throughput, automated slide scanner system for primary diagnostic use. It is intended to aid pathologists in reviewing and interpreting digital images of surgical pathology slides prepared from formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue.
October 2022—Cofactor Genomics presented initial results from the PREDAPT (Predicting Immunotherapy Efficacy from Analysis of Pre-treatment Tumor Biopsies) multicenter clinical trial at the Advances in Genome Biology and Technology Precision Health Meeting in September. The company says its data show that Cofactor’s OncoPrism test using predictive immune modeling was nearly twice as accurate as PD-L1 assays in determining who will benefit from immunotherapies such as Keytruda (pembrolizumab).
October 2022—Roche launched its Digital LightCycler system, the company’s first digital polymerase chain reaction system, for precise DNA and RNA analysis in areas such as oncology and infectious diseases. The instrument features three unique reaction plates, six channel multiplexing capabilities, and a 5× concentrated master mix reagent. Run time is two to four hours with up to 96 samples per run.
