HLA Lab

  • DLO's HLA Labs specialize in clinical histocompatability testing and immunologic monitoring, essential for solid organ transplantation.  Our lab employs advanced techniques to ensure accurate compatability assessments, which are critical for the success of transplants.  Additionally, we provide testing for disease association and drug hypersensitivity, allowing for tailored patient management.  Our commitment to high-quality testing supports improved patient outcomes and enhances the overall effectiveness of transplantation programs.

    Advanced HLA & Transplant Immunology

    DLO's Transplant Immunology Laboratory provides specialized clinical histocompatibility testing and immunologic monitoring to support solid organ transplantation, disease association and drug hypersensitivity testing.

    Our laboratory provides pre-transplantation, transplantation and post-transplantation testing for the INTEGRIS Nazih Zuhdi Transplant Institute, Oklahoma's comprehensive solid organ transplant center. DLO provides human leukocyte antigen (HLA) typing for heart, lung, liver, kidney and pancreas transplantation.

    When appropriate, DLO's virtual crossmatching capabilities can help identify compatible donor-recipient matches more quickly than traditional crossmatching. A final tissue crossmatch is also performed to validate the initial findings.

    When time matters, DLO can provide a four-hour STAT Final Tissue Crossmatch.


    Transplant Testing Throughout the Patient Journey

      • Endocrine Assessment
      • Hematologic Assessment
      • Enzyme Evaluation

    Post-Transplantation

    Ongoing testing to help monitor transplant recipients and identify potential concerns.

    • Organ Tissue Rejection
    • Infectious Disease Monitoring
    • Therapeutic Drug Monitoring
    • Disease Remission

    Specialized HLA Capabilities
