Immunology Research Studies using Blood from Healthy Human Subjects

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to establish a pool of healthy blood donors who will regularly participate in our research studies of human immunity. In most cases, the blood needs to be freshly drawn. Thus, we propose to draw blood on an as needed, ongoing basis. These studies will lead to a better understanding of the immune response to tumors, infectious agents and self. This, in turn, will aid in the design of new strategies to preserve health and treat disease.
