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.

The cup and collection container feature an integrated transfer unit with a pierceable membrane. After collecting a sample with the Urine Monovette, the membrane reseals immediately, ensuring hygienic and repeatable sample collection with no risk of accidental needle sticks. A 100-mL urine cup and 3-L urine container are available.
