  • Publication number: 20070148701
    Abstract: An immunological or immunohematological assay system is disclosed that includes a filter vessel capable of containing an assay sample, an incubator, a sample separation system, an image acquisition system, and a robotic pipettor. The immunological assay system may also include a washer. Also disclosed is an immunological assay method that includes the steps of placing a immunological assay sample in a filter vessel, which includes a filter, adding testing reagents to the filter vessel, incubating the sample and reagent mixture in the filter vessel, separating the sample and reagent mixture in the filter vessel into components above and below the filter, and analyzing the filter vessel to determine the presence of interactions between the sample and reagents.

  • Publication number: 20020127208
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method of transplanting hematopoietic cells between genetically unrelated individuals, comprising administering to the recipient, in combination with the administration of the hematopoietic cells, an amount of mononuclear cells which are treated so as to substantially reduce their ability to cause graft versus host disease while they retain their ability to proliferate in the recipient. The treated mononuclear cells can facilitate engraftment of hematopoietic cells when transplanted in combination with hematopoietic cells, treat or prevent infections, and treat cancer.
