PEGylated Blood Products And The Modern Requirements For Factor Activity Assays Webinar
Online
Added:

Description: The term PEGylation describes the modification of biomolecules by binding them with polyethylene glycol. Recently, the use of PEGylated blood products such as Factor VIII and Factor IX have caused difficulty in the interpretation of traditional clot-based factor activity assays requiring the use of alternative methodologies when monitoring the treatment of various bleeding disorders. This webinar will outline the brief history of PEGylation for use in various biological therapies, as well as compare and contrast the different laboratory methods that are now necessary for accurate interpretation of coagulation factor activity assays.
Start date: Upon registration
Completion: Up to 52 weeks
