Blood draw to collect plasma or white blood cells for lab tests
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This trial uses a special blood-removal procedure called apheresis to collect either plasma or white blood cells for laboratory research. It may help scientists understand infection or immune-related processes by providing specific blood components for study.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 18 years old or older
- You must have a vein access that lets the study team safely collect blood
- Your vital signs must be within study limits (blood pressure up to 180/100; pulse typically 50–100)
- If you’re donating blood using this procedure, your blood counts (hemoglobin/hematocrit/platelets) must be high enough
- You must be willing to sign consent and follow study rules, including sample storage and possible testing (hepatitis screening and genetic/HLA testing)

This research study collects blood cells from adults with HIV and their family members to understand why some people's immune systems control HIV better than others. Researchers will use your cells to study HIV immunity and develop better treatments.
This study collects white blood cells from healthy volunteers every 56 days to help researchers understand how aging affects the immune system. Your cells will be studied in a lab to learn more about natural aging processes.
This research study collects blood cells from people recently diagnosed with HIV who haven't started HIV medicines yet. Researchers use these samples to understand how HIV affects the immune system and develop better treatments.
This trial uses a special blood-filtering procedure (leukapheresis) along with blood tests to better understand how HIV affects the body. It may help researchers learn more about HIV “pathogenesis,” which means what drives disease in different people.
This study collects blood to help researchers run multiple projects, including comparing people who are HIV-negative with people who have HIV. It may help advance knowledge that could improve future testing or treatments.
This study takes small blood samples to learn how the immune system works in healthy people. It may help researchers better understand immune biology for future treatments, while you help by participating in regular research blood draws.
