Services
High-resolution HLA genotyping for donor and recipient compatibility assessment in organ and tissue transplantation.
Detection of recipient anti-donor HLA antibodies using donor lymphocytes to assess immediate immunologic risk before transplantation.
Serological evaluation of recipient sensitization level against a panel of HLA antigens to estimate transplant matching probability.
Quantitative assessment of donor cell engraftment in recipient blood to monitor graft take and detect relapse or graft failure.
Genotyping to identify HLA alleles associated with disease susceptibility or adverse drug reactions for clinical or research use.
Cryostorage of patient serum samples for use in repeat PRA testing and crossmatch with deceased donors.
