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

Hear an expert discuss how to integrate Kappa and Lambda in situ hybridization testing into your standard hematopathology workflow to accurately assess B-cell and plasma cell clonality. You will also gain the skills to recognize testing pitfalls in challenging reactive versus neoplastic proliferations and apply ancillary tools to resolve complex cases.

December 2021—Roche has launched the Avenio Tumor Tissue Comprehensive Genomic Profiling Kit, complementing the current CGP portfolio offered by Roche and Foundation Medicine.
December 2021—The results of Olympus’ ongoing joint research program to create an AI-based pathology diagnostic tool were announced at the Japan Society of Digital Pathology Study annual meeting. The AI tool was able to achieve 100 percent sensitivity and 50 percent or higher specificity for all gastric biopsy pathology specimens analyzed from the six facilities participating in the study.
December 2021—Bio-Rad announced its Exact Diagnostics RP Positive Run Control for syndromic respiratory panels is now available with inactivated whole virus for SARS-CoV-2. The unassayed external quality control contains 23 respiratory analytes in one vial and is intended to monitor the performance of clinical respiratory assays. The control is a combination of whole, intact virus and bacteria that have been heated or chemically inactivated and synthetic RNA transcripts.
December 2021—LumiraDx announced that the FDA’s emergency use authorization for its SARS-CoV-2 antigen test has been expanded to include screening of asymptomatic individuals. This claim builds on its existing claim that covers use of the test in individuals suspected of having COVID-19 by their health care provider within 12 days of symptom onset. The test received EUA in August 2020.
December 2021—Microbix Biosystems has expanded its portfolio of quality assessment products to include controls that support PCR tests for four major variants of concern of SARS-CoV-2.
November 2021—Verichem Laboratories offers ready-to-use, liquid-stable clinical reference materials for microprotein testing, suitable for use with turbidimetric and colorimetric test methods. The products are intended for the calibration and calibration verification of clinical systems testing for total protein and albumin in urine and cerebral spinal fluid. The kit contains a five-level set with 15 mL of material at each level and provides 10 individual certified concentrations in an azide-free format, incorporating human protein components for optimum reactivity.
November 2021—Thermo Fisher Scientific has updated its research use only Applied Biosystems TaqMan SARS-CoV-2 Mutation Panel to include the mu strain. Laboratories can build their own panel from a menu of more than 50 verified real-time PCR assays that allows the user to identify relevant SARS-CoV-2 mutations and adapt as additional mutations and variants emerge.
November 2021—Labcon North America, a wholly owned subsidiary of Helena Laboratories, has announced a $59.3 million contract award from the U.S. Department of Defense in coordination with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
