A SHORT COURSE IN BASIC TISSUE CULTURE

JUNE 4-8, 1990   9:00 AM-5:00 PM

This short course in the culturing of mammalian cells is presented by
means of hands-on procedures and demonstrations.  All the essential
apsects and contemporary methods of growing cells in culture will be
covered.  There will be lectures on the cultured cell, monolayer and
suspension culture systems, contamination, contemporary methods of
cell identification, and production of monoclonal antibodies.  Hands-on
procedures will include pipetting, media preparation and filtration, basic phase
    contrast microscopy, the hemocytometer method of cell counting, cryogenic
preservation, culturing anchorage dependent cells, primary cell
culturing, cell identification using immunohistofluorescence,
karyotyping, and mycoplasma detection.  Demonstrations on the use of
cryogenic equipment, various types of culture vessels, DNA
characterization, two dimensional gel electrophoresis of cultured cell
proteins emphasizing labeling, isoelectric focusing, polyacrylamide gel
electrophoresis and autoradiography will also be presented.
