Studying Immune Cells in Healthy Unvaccinated Skin
Treatments studied
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study examines special immune cells that live in your skin to understand how they work. Researchers will take small skin samples to learn more about your body's natural defenses, which could help develop better vaccines in the future.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are generally healthy with a BMI between 18.5 and 35
- You have never had a flavivirus infection (dengue, yellow fever, Japanese encephalitis, tick-borne encephalitis)
- You have never received any flavivirus vaccine
- You agree not to receive any vaccines during the study period
- You do not have a weakened immune system or take immunosuppressant medications
- You agree to allow researchers to take small skin biopsies and discuss your medical history

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 is for adults whose immune system has trouble fighting viruses due to specific antibodies or a genetic condition. Researchers want to follow these people over time to better understand the condition and improve care.
This study looks at how your body's immune system responds to the yellow fever vaccine. It may help researchers understand how well the vaccine protects people.
This study looks at how your immune system “remembers” the yellow fever vaccine over time. It may help researchers understand long-term immune protection and how it varies between people.
This trial studies how well the yellow fever vaccine “17D” stimulates the immune system (the body’s germ-fighting response) in adults who were vaccinated with 17D years ago. It may help researchers understand whether a prior vaccination still provides protection and how strong the immune response is.
This study tests a flu vaccine given just under the skin (intradermal) to see how well it works. It may be a good option if you are a healthy young adult.
