Study of how immune cells react to different stimuli
Part of Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study measures how immune cells respond when exposed to test “stimuli.” It needs healthy, nonpregnant adults and screens for certain infections and recent illnesses or medicines to help ensure the results aren’t affected by outside factors.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be age 18 to 65
- Weigh at least 110 pounds and be nonpregnant
- You must be HIV-negative, and tests for HIV will be repeated every 6 months
- You must be hepatitis B and hepatitis C negative, and tests will be repeated every 6 months
- Be generally healthy: avoid feeling ill in the past 24 hours
- Do not take immune-changing medicines (and avoid certain meds in the last 5 days)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This is a long-term study that evaluates and follows patients with inflammatory conditions related to infections or immune system problems. Researchers at the National Institutes of Health want to understand these conditions better and may ask you to participate in related studies.
This study checks how your immune system (your body’s defense system) reacts to a controlled substance that triggers inflammation. It may help researchers understand why some people have stronger or weaker inflammatory responses.
This study looks at how the immune system works in people who have—or might have—an increased risk of infections. It also enrolls their healthy blood relatives so researchers can compare immune features; results may help doctors understand who is at higher risk and why.
This study looks at tiny cell “messengers” in blood and stool to understand how HIV behaves before and after starting treatment. You may be eligible if you have untreated HIV (or you’re a healthy volunteer) and can commit to many sample visits, including long-term storage for 20 years.
This study collects multiple types of samples (like blood, stool, saliva, and swabs) from healthy people. The goal is to optimize lab tests for future research, which may help doctors and scientists run more accurate immune-related measurements.
This study tests how well researchers can track HIV-related health and immune changes over time by collecting blood and other samples. It may help you and your care team by creating detailed monitoring, even if your HIV diagnosis is new or still being evaluated.
