Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This research study goal is to analyze the plasma and the cells that make up part of the immune system. We want to learn how the plasma and cells work. These may influence why one person will develop an infection and another will not, or why one person develops severe symptoms of a disease while others remain without symptoms.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This research study goal is to analyze the plasma and the cells that make up part of the immune system. These cells, called white cells or leukocytes, are present in blood. We want to learn how these cells work to prevent infection and how they respond after an infection occurs. We also want to study certain molecules present on the plasma, on or in these cells, and the genetic material that allows these molecules to be made. These molecules may influence why one person will develop an infection and another will not, or why one person develops severe symptoms of a disease while others remain without symptoms. This study may increase our understanding of a variety of diseases including infections such as HIV, allergic diseases such as asthma, joint diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, certain cancers, and the rejection process that sometimes occurs after transplantation of an organ.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Must be able to give blood
* Must be able to give informed consent
* Signed, written informed consent

Exclusion Criteria

* Individuals with a history severe anemia, inadequate venous access, severe blood or coagulation disorders.
* Pregnant women are excluded because it is a unique immunotolerant state and will alter the profile of immunomodulatory molecules.
