>We are planning to organise a workshop at ISAC in Rimini on Thursday 18th of
>April and have been allocated 1.5 - 2 hrs.
>Chairmen - BK Shenton. B Brando.
>
>Background.
> In the UK we have assessed the results from 15 Transplant Centres
>who routinely perform the Flow Cytometric Crossmatch. Samples have been
>exchanged and we have been able to study important areas of the Flow
>Crossmatch technique. It has become apparent that there are almost as many
>variations in methodology and interpretation as their are centres performing
>the test. It has therefore been suggested that we hold a workshop at ISAC.
>The key areas to be examined are.
>1. The relevance of the Flow Crossmatch in Transplantation.
>2. Methodology of the Crossmatch
>3. Quality Control and standardisation of the crossmatch
>4. Definition of Positivity.
>
>If anyone would like to contribute or attend this workshop, please let me
