Immunochemistry: a branch of chemistry that involves the study of the molecular mechanisms underlying the function of the immune system, especially the nature of antibodies, antigens and their interactions. Various methods in immunochemistry have been developed and refined, and been used in scientific study, from virology to molecular evolution. Immunochemistry is also studied from the aspect of using antibodies to label epitopes of interest in cells (immunocytochemistry) or tissues (immunohistochemistry)
There is a considerable interest and need for evidence-based recommendations regarding the social housing of laboratory rabbits. This presentation will review the principles surrounding the s...
Welfare First, a programme developed to recognise the importance of welfare within the life sciences sector and to meet the aims of its position statement. Animal welfare is a priority,...
The GeneStrat® Genomic Test is a blood-based series of ddPCR tests for DNA (EGFR, KRAS, BRAF) and multiplexed assays for RNA variants (EML4-ALK, ROS1, RET). In this report we will u...
Antiplatelet therapy with aspirin (ASA) is widely used in cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention because it inhibits platelet cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) and thromboxane A2 (TXA2)-mediated plat...
QuantiFERON TB (QFT) was the first interferon gamma release assay (IGRA) utilizing whole blood stimulation as a test for TB infection, gaining FDA approval in 2001. Subsequently there have be...
The role of the microbiology laboratory in the processing of positive patient blood cultures has become more complicated with the increasing demand for rapid information to assist in the mana...
Acute and chronic pain are often managed with drug therapy, which may include extended use of drug classes such as opioids and benzodiazepines. Pain does not go away, and may intensify...
Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) has become the leading cause of healthcare associated infections in the United States and currently accounts for 15% to 20% of infectious diarrhea in the...
This session will review and describe the basic steps of a biosafety risk assessment for clinical laboratories. The risk of exposure to infectious agents exists in every clinical labora...
Dr. Tony Hu’s research focuses on developing and validating integrated nanotechnique-based strategies for marker discovery and molecular diagnostics in peripheral blood samples to provi...
Despite the fact that screening for many cancers is associated with net harm, healthcare consumers continue to be screened. PSA is the most commonly performed laboratory screening test for ca...
Many direct immunoassays in use today for testosterone analysis are little better than a guess at the low levels that are sometimes required. This has led many clinical societies to adv...
Pregnancy represents a time of rapid bodily change, which include physical proportions, physiology and responsibility. Arguably, nothing during these times changes more than the requirement a...
Do you have targets that are difficult to genotype? Are you starting new projects and looking for a fast, convenient genotyping solution?Whether detecting mitochondrial disease targets, s...
Many Americans have succumbed to the scare tactics of the dermatological community, and avoid sunlight for fear of skin cancer and premature aging. Therefore, most of us suffer from vitamin D...
Monitoring unfractionated heparin (UFH) using the activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) or the anti-factor Xa (anti-Xa) chromogenic assay still seems to be a controversy. Is the...
Healthcare is becoming more proactive and data-rich than anything before possible – and will increasingly focus on maintaining and enhancing wellness more than just reacting to disease....
Although there have been enormous advances in gene sequencing, the results give massive amounts of data that only point to disease risk. Major health factors, including diet, lifestyle, envir...
Much has been made in the popular press about importance of our "genes" in everything from our weight, intelligence, and our risk of disease. While there is a scientific basis...
Identification of the many complex genetic aberrations associated with cancers, and deciphering their role in disease progression and response to treatment is one of the major challenges face...
Gastrointestinal (GI) disorders are now widely recognized as a clinical symptom of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and research into the microbiome-gut-brain axis is beginning to reveal the i...
The starting point for an interaction between a patient and a clinician is almost always a set of clinical facts (aka a phenotype). Phenotype-first medicine is the standard way in which the p...
