Tracking blood markers of immune recovery over time
This study follows healthy people over time and measures tiny markers in blood that reflect how your immune system is maintained. It may help researchers understand normal immune aging, which can also guide care for people with immune problems later.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are generally healthy for your age (no recent serious infections, injuries, or immune problems)
- You do not have severe long-term illnesses
- You have no history of cancer (except a one-time non-melanoma skin cancer)
- You do not have serious heart disease or problems controlling blood pressure
- You do not have chronic infections or long-term uncontrolled inflammatory arthritis
- You do not have severe diabetes or any other severe condition that affects daily functioning or needs multiple medicines

This study looks at blood “biomarkers,” or measurable body signals, in people with autoimmune diseases, vasculitis, or autoinflammatory conditions. The goal is to better understand these illnesses and how they relate to disease activity.
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.
This study looks for blood-based signs of disease in people who feel healthy, to see if doctors can spot problems before symptoms appear. You'll provide blood samples and health information to help researchers develop better early screening tools.
This study looks at how certain fats (called bioactive lipids) relate to immune cells in healthy people. By comparing people with and without inflammation, researchers hope to understand how these lipids might help detect or treat inflammatory conditions.
This study checks whether certain lab “biomarker” results from blood samples remain accurate over time. The goal is to validate diagnostic tests by testing samples from healthy adults under controlled conditions.
This study measures how a child’s immune system responds after standard childhood vaccines, like DTaP-IPV/Hib, pneumococcal, MMR, varicella, flu, and COVID shots. It may help researchers better understand what a “healthy” immune response looks like after vaccination.
