Blood test for fats and immune cells in healthy adults
This study looks at how certain fats in your blood interact with immune cells. It is for healthy people to help researchers understand normal immune function, which may lead to better treatments for inflammatory diseases.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 18 years or older
- Not be pregnant
- Have no chronic (long-term) inflammatory condition such as Crohn's disease, COPD, lupus, or multiple sclerosis
- Have no recent (within 3 weeks) illness or event that affects the immune system, like a cold, flu, or vaccine
- Not have used medications that affect the immune system or inflammation recently (for example, ibuprofen, aspirin, steroids, or biologic drugs)
Quick eligibility check
Answer a few plain-language questions, based on this study's own requirements, to get a preliminary sense of fit.

This study tests a new blood testing device on healthy adults to see if it works well and is easy to use. It may help improve how blood tests are done in the future.
This study is testing different ways to collect and prepare blood samples for a type of DNA test. It is for healthy adults to help improve the accuracy of future blood tests.
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 measures blood “biomarkers” (signals in blood) to better understand inflammatory diseases, including autoimmune and autoinflammatory conditions. You may be asked to give blood samples now and possibly extra samples if needed for testing.
This study looks at blood samples to better understand inflammation pathways in people with rare autoinflammatory diseases. It may help develop better tests and treatments for these conditions.
This study looks at how fats (lipids) in your blood affect blood cells called platelets, which help with clotting. It includes both healthy people and those with high cholesterol or other fat issues.
