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

CorePath, Cizzle Biotech to develop early-stage lung cancer test
August 2022—CorePath Laboratories announced a partnership with U.K.-based diagnostics developer Cizzle Biotech to develop and offer a proprietary early-stage lung cancer test throughout the United States. Cizzle Biotech’s proof-of-concept prototype test is based on the ability to detect a stable plasma biomarker, a variant of CIZ1 known as CIZ1B. CIZ1 is a naturally occurring cell nuclear protein involved in DNA replication, Cizzle Biotech says, and the targeted CIZ1B variant is highly correlated with early-stage lung cancer.
BD unveils spectral cell sorter with high-speed imaging technology
August 2022—BD has unveiled its BD FACSDiscover S8 Cell Sorter with BD CellView Image Technology, which captures images of individual cells flowing through the system and sorts them based on detailed microscopic image analysis of each one at high sort speeds.
Roche launches BenchMark Ultra Plus, Ventana DP 600
August 2022—Roche has launched its BenchMark Ultra Plus tissue staining platform. The system was built on the technology of the BenchMark Ultra and uses improved Ventana system software, which aims to enhance quality control and inventory management.
Bio-Rad launches two negative run controls
August 2022—Bio-Rad Laboratories launched two new Exact Diagnostics products. The Exact Diagnostics Synthetic Negative Run Control is screened negative for nine targets, Anaplasma phagocytophilum, Babesia microti, Bartonella quintana, Borrelia burgdorferi, Ehrlichia chaffeensis, enterovirus coxsackievirus A9, HSV-1 and HSV-2, and varicella zoster virus. The Exact Diagnostics HAI Negative Run Control is screened negative for Clostridium difficile, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, and methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus.
Thermo Scientific, Inpeco to develop LC-MS/MS, TLA connectivity
August 2022—Thermo Fisher Scientific announced an agreement with Inpeco S.A. to develop connectivity between the Thermo Scientific Cascadion SM automated liquid chromatography mass spectrometer and the Inpeco S.A. FlexLab total laboratory automation system.
Beckman, Scopio to accelerate adoption of digital morphology platform
August 2022—Beckman Coulter and Scopio Labs announced a worldwide partnership to accelerate the adoption of Scopio’s next-generation peripheral blood smear platforms. Scopio’s technology uses full-field imaging and AI decision support to eliminate manual microscopy.
CFX Duet Real-Time PCR system
August 2022—Bio-Rad Laboratories has launched the CFX Duet Real-Time PCR system to support researchers in developing singleplex and duplex quantitative PCR assays. The CFX Duet system offers the robust thermal performance and proprietary, accurate optical shuttle system of the company’s CFX Opus system. It is a two-color system that is factory calibrated for common dyes and allows the quantification of up to two targets in genotyping and multiple gene expression analyses without the need for passive reference dyes. An additional fluorescence resonance energy transfer mode supports protein melt analysis for basic protein characterization.
CE-IVD-marked TaqPath respiratory viral panel
August 2022—Thermo Fisher Scientific has launched its Applied Biosystems TaqPath Respiratory Viral Select panel. The CE-IVD-marked molecular assay panel provides results in approximately three hours and tests for adenovirus, human metapneumovirus, rhinovirus/enterovirus, and parainfluenza virus using PCR technology. RNase P and positive controls are included to offer sample-to-result reliability. The solution is scalable, allowing laboratories to run from one to 94 samples simultaneously.
