MUCOSAL SAMPLING AND IMMUNOLOGY TRAINING
18th-20th JANUARY 2016
KAVI INSTITUTUE OF CLINICAL RESEARCH (KAVI-ICR)
KAVI-ICR conducted a mucosal sampling and immunology training from the
18th-22nd January 2016 held at KAVI-ICR research laboratory. The participants
were drawn from laboratory scientist from India.
Transmission of HIV-1 occurs predominantly across the genital mucosa during
sexual intercourse. Consequently there is a growing interest in understanding
host mucosal responses to HIV-1 during infection, and in assessing protective
mucosal responses during microbicide and HIV vaccine trials. It is thus
necessary to obtain samples from mucosal surfaces for immunological analysis
in a standardized and reproducible manner, ensuring comparable data across
studies and research centers. KAVI-ICR developed a 5-day hands-on training
program on the collection and processing of mucosal samples, and transferred the
techniques to research staff from India.
