Abstract
In 1997, Dr Srgio Coutinho invited me to consider organizing, in 1998, a symposium to commemorate the ten years of flow cytomery in Brazil. The purpose of the meeting was to bring together several professionals who have contributed in someway to the development of this technology in our scientific milieu. The symposium took place between September 29-30, 1998 at Fundao Oswaldo Cruz, Fiocruz, Rio de Janeiro and consisted of round-tables emphasizing the applications of flow citomery to some important fields including cytokines, membrane receptors, cellular functions, cancer and Aids. The scientific content of the meeting made it both unique and very informative. The discussion generated by the presentations highlighted the importance of flow cytomery as a tool for studying several phenomena in clinical as well as basic biological research.
