Heidelberg) in Germany from october 12-17, 1996 just ahead of the Heidelberg
flow meeting (october 17-19).
The topics include:
1. Immunophenotyping and morphology of leukemia and lymphoma
2. Immunodeficiency and immunoparalysis (phenotype vs function, lymphocyte
activation vs proliferation, NK-assay
3. Functional leukocyte subsets (cytoplasmic cytokines)
4. Differential Diagnosis of Anemia (combining heme and flow, PNH, MDS)
5. Platelets: Antigens, activation and autoantibodies
6. Apoptosis (Tdt-assay, propidium and fas)
7. Multi-Drug-Resistance (immunophenotype vs function, influx vs efflux, Dauno
vs R123)
8. Phagocytosis and oxidative burst
9. Basophil degranulation (histamin release vs flow)
10. LDL-receptor test (differential diagnosis of familial hypercholesteremia)
A preknowledge of the basics of flow cytometry and german is required. The
participants are invited to present their problem cases. Course fee: 500,- DM
without lunch and dinner. Help for accommodation will be provided. Mannheim is
located 80 kilometers south of Frankfurt and 20 kilometers west of Heidelberg
