Immunological assays are biochemical testing methods that measure the amount of a molecule of substance in a sample by using an antibody or antigen. Immunological assays include enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA), flow cytometry, and immunohistochemistry (IHC).
While genomics has been used as a tool for research for many years, globally there is increasing momentum to deploy microbial genomics for routine public health microbiology. This technology...
Diagnostic error impacts millions of US adults and children every year1,2. Failure to order an appropriate diagnostic test and incorrect interpretation of diagnostic test results are co...
Cancer immunotherapy has demonstrated promising results. However, to date, researchers have failed to overcome the complex interplay between the immune system and the immune suppressive tumor...
Cancer is complex, but recent findings are yielding a greater understanding of the disease. The tumor suppressor genes BRCA1 and BRCA2 are implicated in breast, ovarian, prostate, and other c...
Precision medicine promises a more effective approach to disease treatment and management. It is based on analyzing mutations of disease samples to unlock mechanisms of disease development an...
Control of infection from methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has been a healthcare focus for more than 50 years. One of the reasons that active surveillance testing (AST) for...
Respiratory viral infections remain a leading cause of medical visits and can contribute significantly to morbidity and mortality. Influenza, together with pneumonia, is the leading infectio...
Human microbiome projects have delivered our first glimpse into the microbial communities that reside in and on our bodies. Building on these efforts the research community has begun to corre...

One of the hallmarks of human cancers is genetic instability. My colleagues and I recently identified a remarkable association between human papillomavirus (HPV) and genomic structural variat...
The value of measuring lactate levels is expanding. Though generally considered a nonspecific biomarker, knowing lactate levels early in a patients presentation can provide valuable informat...
Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the primary cause of cervical cancer and more than 100 types of HPV have been identified. Detection of HPV from cervical samples is associated with a 250 times...
Traditional testing methods for monoclonal protein in Plasma Cell Dyscrasias correctly identify a majority of patients. However, limitations in these methods can cause patients to be missed...
Due to the large increase in the number and complexity of clinical laboratory tests, optimal use of laboratory testing services has presented many challenges. The Clinical Laboratory Integrat...
Multiple Sclerosis is a debilitating neurodegnerative disease of the central nervous system in which the immune system targets and destroys myelin sheaths surrounding axons. Progressive a...
The utility of dried blood spot (DBS) sampling technology for rodent colony health monitoring was investigated using a two-tiered approach. In the first approach, groups of mice and rats were...
Cancer metastases develop when tumor cells known as circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are shed from a tumor, circulate through the blood stream and colonize a distant tissue. The number of CTCs...
Autophagy is a normal degradative pathway that involves the sequestration of entire organelles, protein complexes, and misfolded proteins in a membrane vacuole called the autophagosome. The ...
