BLOOD DRAWING FOR OPTIMIZATION OF PROCEDURES

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. This protocol will support additional patient visits and blood collection from volunteers enrolled in HS-1917; HS-1962; and HS-1996. Collection of blood will be used to: 1) Optimize new assays or lab techniques 3) Calibrate new laboratory equipment 4) Train new members in current laboratory procedures 5) Validate experiments performed by other members of the laboratory, other laboratories at National Jewish or laboratories at other institutions. Our laboratory currently has approved IRB protocols (HS-1455, HS-1917, HS-1962) to investigate the immune response of blood cells from normal subjects or patients with atopic dermatitis and asthma. Occasionally it is necessary to collect additional blood cells for pilot studies, training of new laboratory personnel, or calibration of new laboratory equipment.
