Highlights of the 33rd annual scientific meeting of the Association of Medical Laboratory Immunologists (AMLI)

J Immunol Methods. 2021 Feb 21:112994. doi: 10.1016/j.jim.2021.112994. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe annual meeting of the Association of Medical Laboratory Immunologists (AMLI) was convened virtually over the month of August. Prior to the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic, AMLI's scientific committee had chosen the following topics as the focus of its 2020 meeting: Histocompatibility Testing and Transplant Immunology; Secondary Immunodeficiency and Immunotherapy Monitoring; ANA Update; and Emerging Infectious Diseases and New Algorithms for Testing. Given the central role of the discipline in the evaluation of the host response to infection, it was apt to add a separate session on antibody testing for SARS-CoV-2 infections to the original program. The current report provides an overview of the subjects discussed in the course of this meeting.PMID:33626382 | DOI:10.1016/j.jim.2021.112994
