Donate blood cells to help grow immune cells for therapy
This is a study that recruits healthy adults to donate a type of blood cell (PBMCs) so researchers can grow T cells for future adoptive cell therapy. It tests a process for collecting and expanding immune cells; participation mainly involves blood donation and health screening.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be age 18 or older and able to give informed consent
- Have acceptable vital signs on the donation day (no fever, and blood pressure/heart rate in limits)
- Weigh at least 110 pounds and have good vein access in both arms for a 2-arm apheresis procedure
- Not be pregnant or breast-feeding if you can become pregnant
- Within 30 days, test negative for several infections (including HIV and hepatitis B/C) per the study blood tests
- Have adequate blood counts around donation (hemoglobin, platelets, and white blood cell levels in study ranges)

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 study collects and stores blood/tissue samples (called biospecimens) to support immunotherapy research at the cancer center. If you may qualify, your samples help researchers test new immune-based cancer treatments.
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.
This study tests improved ways to select and collect bone marrow cells from healthy donors for use in transplants. Researchers are looking for healthy volunteers to donate cells that may help people who need bone marrow transplants.
This study collects blood from healthy volunteers to be used in laboratory research. Your blood helps scientists study diseases and test new treatments in the lab.
This trial studies people who donate blood and checks what happens in your body after donation, focusing on safety and measurements in lab tests. You may be able to join if you are healthy and pass screening labs and health history checks.
