A simple molecular assay for rhd genotyping

Rhesus (Rh) status is routinely determined by serological analyses, but molecular analysis of the RHD gene for phenotype prediction is required when discrepancy and/or ambiguity occurs. EFS has identified a novel predominant RHD allele resulting in the weak D phenotype in the Indian population. A new RHD genotyping method based on the detection of this novel allele is proposed. APPLICATIONS: • Identification of the most prevalent weak D variant ...

An innovative approach for multiple myeloma treatment

Multiple myeloma (MM) is the second most prevalent hematological cancer after non Hodgkin’s lymphoma (10-12%) and is responsible for 2% of cancer death. In MM, the bone marrow microenvironment (constituted by mesenchymal stromal cells, “MSC") is pivotal to the establishment and progression of the pathology and MM plasma cell growth. MM-MSC are abnormal and overexpress Toll like receptor 4 (TLR 4). EFS researchers have found that TLR 4 is ove...

An innovative approach for the treatment and prevention of graft versus host disease and cytokine release syndrome

The curative efficacy of allogeneic hematopoietic cells transplantation is considerably reduced by Graft versus Host Disease ( GvHD ) which causes significant mortality and morbidity. GvHD represents a pathology for which immunosuppression approaches like corticosteroids remain to this day the first line of treatment. However, the corticosteroid therapy is associated with many iatrogenic complications and the prognosis of GvHD is poor in case of no...

An innovative procedure for preserving cells, tissues or organs in hypothermia

A conservation procedure which improves the cell survival and maintains functional capacities of cells, tissues and organs without freezing step. This procedure improves the quality of graft.

APPLICATIONS: • Short to mid term cells preservation • Storage and transport of...

Injectable solution for cell preservation

Hematopoietic stem and progenitors cells cannot be preserved for long time at +4°C. They are especially vulnerable after ex vivo expansion. Before injection to the patient, these cells are usually resuspended in human serum albumin solution, which does not ensure their conservation over several hours. It is possible to preserve hematopoietic cells at +4°C without freezing by more complex media, which are, however, not injectable. The EFS proposes...
