My apologies for the messed up posting. The problem appears to be in
my mail client software here at Purdue; I think this copy should be good.

TWELFTH ANNUAL CLINICAL COURSE ON FLOW AND IMAGE CYTOMETRY
July 18 - July 23, 1999
Norris Cotton Cancer Center
Dartmouth Medical School
Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center
Lebanon, New Hampshire
The Twelfth Annual Clinical Course on Flow and Image Cytometry will be
held this year at Dartmouth -Hitchcock Medical Center in New Hampshire,
USA.
As in past years, the Course will include hands-on laboratory work in
small groups, expert lectures by local and visiting faculty, and many
opportunities for informal discussion. Emphasis will be on basic theory as
well as its practical application in the clinical laboratory. The Course will
be limited to approximately 45 participants. It is directed at those individuals
with some experience in flow or image analysis.
Participants in the Course will gain an understanding of the principles of
flow cytometry and image analysis and up-to-date knowledge of the ways in
which
cytometry can be applied to, among others, the following clinical problems:
· leukemia and lymphoma phenotyping;
· analysis of platelets;
· analysis for cell cycle stage and ploidy;
· multiparameter assays for DNA with cytoplasmic/nuclear antigens;
· CD34 stem cell analysis;
· assays to detect fetal cells in maternal blood;
· HIV detection and immunophenotyping for AIDS;
· evaluation of leukocyte function;
· apoptosis;
· procedures for quality control.
Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, including both Dartmouth Medical School
and the Mary Hitchcock Memorial Hospital, is located on a new campus in
Lebanon,
New Hampshire, a rural New England town on the Connecticut River.
Lectures and laboratories will be held at the Medical Center. Accommodations
will
be at a nearby hotel. Social events will make use of the neighboring facilities
of historic Dartmouth College. Transportation between events will be provided.
