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.

SHORT COURSE IN BASIC TISSUE CULTURE
presented by
The Biotechnology Program
Manhattan College/College of Mt. St. Vincent
Bronx (Riverdale), NY
JUNE 3 - 6, 1991
The essential aspects and contemporary methods of growing
cells in culture will be presented mainly by hands-on procedures
and some demonstrations. There will be lectures on the cultured
cell, monolayer and suspension culture systems, cryogenic preser-
vation, primary cell culturing, contemporary methods of cell
identification, and cell nutrition. Hands-on procedures will
include pipetting, media preparation and filtration, the hemocy-
tometer method of cell counting, cryogenic preservation, cultur-
ing anchorage dependent cells, primary cell culturing, cell
identification using immunohistofluoresence, and karyotyping.
Demonstrations on the use of cryogenic equipment, various types
of culture vessels, two dimensional gel electrophoresis of cul-
tured cell proteins emphasizing labeling, isoelectric focusing,
polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and autoradiography will also
be presented.
