Share the Science: HLA Matching for Cord Blood Units - Josefine Teeler, Matchis Foundation

11/18/2019

 
Picture
Save the Cord Foundation and WellSky are proud to welcome Josefine Teeler, as our featured speaker for our next edition of Share the Science on December 12th, 2019. 

Watch the recording now via the Share the Science archive.

​Share the Science is a free webinar series focused on the cord blood industry and the latest research in this field.  As always, we invite both health professionals and the general public to join us for this unique online educational series. Learn more about this exciting educational series here.

How is Cord Blood matched for Stem Cell Transplants?

​Human Leukocyte Antigens (HLA) matching for Cord Blood Units (CBU) is much more complex than blood typing. This webinar will cover how to find the best match and what information is needed to select the most optimal CBU based on HLA profiles.  Josefine Teeler, Team Lead - Transplant Center Services for Matchis Foundation will provide information on how matchgrade is determined for CBUs and the guidelines for selection.

She will also discuss the differences between n/6, n/8, and n/10 matchgrade. Attendees will also learn about minimal matchgrade and (permissive) mismatches. By choosing the best CBU for a patient not only HLA is considered, so therefore we will also briefly review the balance between matchgrade, cell dose and diagnosis of the patient.

What will you learn in this webinar?

Attendees of this Share the Science webinar will learn about cord blood unit selection based on HLA profiles and matchgrade.  Josefine will explain how matchgrade is determined. She will go into detail regarding minimal matchgrade and how this is influenced by cell dose and/or diagnosis.  She will review global guidelines as well as the characteristics and types of information regarding the HLA profiles that influence the final cord blood unit selection.
