UNYLAB, a division of IMMCO Diagnostics, is committed to providing immunologic and genetic testing of the highest quality to ensure the most favorable outcomes in organ and cellular transplantation
UNYLAB provides human leukocyte antigen (HLA) typing, HLA antibody analysis, and lymphocyte crossmatching. These services, collectively referred to as histocompatibility testing, are offered primarily for patients undergoing solid organ and bone marrow transplantation. Additionally, HLA antibody testing may be applicable to the field of platelet transfusion. HLA typing may also be used for assessments of disease susceptibility.
UNYLAB is a member of the American Society for Histocompatibility and Immunogenetics (ASHI), the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS), the New York State Department of Health, the Department of Health and Human Services,
and is the sole provider of histocompatibility services for the Western New York regional transplant centers.
At UNYLAB, we utilize state-of-the-art technology for the delivery of the most sensitive and reliable assays in HLA testing. HLA typing is performed using molecular-based DNA analysis through the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The detection and identification of HLA antibodies is achieved through the Luminex platform.
Lymphocyte crossmatch testing is performed by flow cytometry.
The UNYLAB team draws upon a wealth of clinical and research experience, frequently contributing to the scientific literature in this field. Members of our staff are certified by the American Board of Histocompatibility and Immunogenetics (ABHI)
