Novel Software Reduces Variability in ELISA Biomarker Tests
Protein biomarkers are measured frequently in plasma, serum or other matrices by solid phase Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) methods in which the antigen of interest in the sample is bound by antibodies and the amount of bound antigen is proportional to the signal strength that develops in the assay.

High-Res Genotyping Improves Survival for Stem Cell Transplantation
Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) provides a curative treatment option for individuals with hematologic diseases. Recipients and donors are considered to be compatible or “well matched” if they share a high degree of genetic similarity at their human leukocyte antigen (HLA) loci. More...25 Apr 2019

Recombinant Capture Molecule Used for Viral Disease Diagnosis
Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is an infectious disease endemic in a variety of countries in southeastern Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and Africa. The virus (CCHFV) transmission occurs via the bite of an infected tick and also by close contact with body fluids of infected persons or livestock. More...17 Apr 2019

TB Interferon-Gamma Release Assay Assessed in Children
Pediatric tuberculosis (TB) remains a major public health issue with at least one million children newly identified with TB each year, representing 10% to 11% of all TB cases. It was recently reported an estimate of 250,000 deaths among pediatric TB cases, of whom an estimated 50,000 were children living with HIV infection. More...16 Apr 2019
Immune Signature Drives Leukemia Relapse after Transplantation
Transplantation of hematopoietic cells from a healthy individual (allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT)) demonstrates that adoptive immunotherapy can cure blood cancers: still, post-transplantation relapses remain frequent. More...11 Apr 2019

Haptoglobin Expression Linked to Newborn Outcomes
Proteomics has facilitated discovery of biomarkers to better understand the pathophysiology of early-onset neonatal sepsis with the goal of identifying as early as possible the newborns more likely to die or develop significant morbidity. More...09 Apr 2019
