Increasing Demand for Organ Transplantation and Funding for R&D of Next-Generation Sequencing Assays to Augment Growth of Transplant Diagnostics Market
One of the primary reasons for the growth and success of the field of transplant diagnostics is due to the developments and improvements in the various technologies used by these assays. The advent of molecular assays and DNA probes has resulted in the development of more sensitive and powerful techniques for analyzing and evaluating tissue samples from patients. In particular, the use of polymerase chain reactions and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA, EIA) has provided doctors with more information about the organ systems in which they are evaluating tissues. Molecular assays have also enabled scientists to examine living organs under the microscope and to test for pathogenicity and virulence factors of different pathogens. Market Dynamics Increasing demand for organ transplantation is expected to propel growth of the transplant diagnostics market . For instance, according to the U.S. Government Information on Organ Donation and Transplantation, over 112,000 p...
