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.

October 2020—Agilent Technologies released the SureSelect XT HS2 RNA reagent kit. The kit enables users to accurately profile gene expression and detect RNA fusions using low-input FFPE samples and aims to significantly improve efficiency, especially in labs that process both DNA and RNA samples for next-generation–sequencing applications.
May 19, 2020—Agilent Technologies announced that the Food and Drug Administration has approved the
April 2020—Agilent Technologies introduced three microarrays to meet the needs of cytogenetic laboratories conducting prenatal and postnatal research.
R programming language gains steam in pathology labs
April 2020—Among laboratories focused on expanding data analytics, the statistical programming language R has a loyal user base that is steadily growing. “There is a crew of us that are really trying to show the utility of R for laboratories,” says Stephen Master, MD, PhD, chief of the Division of Laboratory Medicine and director of the Michael Palmieri Laboratory for Metabolic and Advanced Diagnostics at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.
March 2020—Agilent Technologies introduced the SureSelect XT HS2 DNA Kit, designed to address key challenges that laboratories encounter when preparing DNA sequencing libraries for their research.
Feb. 18, 2020—Agilent Technologies introduced the SureSelect XT HS2 DNA Kit, designed to address key challenges that laboratories encounter when preparing DNA sequencing libraries for their research.
December 2019—The FDA approved Agilent Technologies’ PD-L1 IHC 22C3 pharmDx assay as an aid in identifying patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma for treatment with Keytruda (pembrolizumab), an anti-PD-1 therapy manufactured by Merck. Keytruda is approved for patients with recurrent locally advanced or metastatic ESCC whose tumors express PD-L1 (combined positive score ³10), as determined by an FDA-approved test, with disease progression on or after one prior line of systemic therapy.
November 2019—Agilent Technologies introduced its xCELLigence RTCA eSight multimode real-time cell analyzer. The research use only system provides label-free, real-time biosensor measurements and kinetic imaging of the same live cell populations independently or simultaneously.
May 2019—The Food and Drug Administration approved pembrolizumab (Keytruda, Merck) for the first-line treatment of patients with stage III non-small cell lung cancer who are not candidates for surgical resection or definitive chemoradiation or metastatic NSCLC.
May 2019—Agilent Technologies announced its Magnis NGS Prep System, a fully automated next-generation sequencing library preparation system designed to run complex DNA sequencing assays.
