PHLEBOTOMY OF NORMAL VOLUNTEERS TO SUPPORT PLASMODIUM FALCIPARUM CULTURES

这个子项目是利用由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供的资源的许多研究子项目之一。子项目和调查员(PI)可能从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金，因此可能会出现在其他CRISE条目中。列出的机构是针对中心的，而不一定是针对调查员的机构。几个研究实验室需要人类红细胞来维持疟疾寄生虫(恶性疟原虫)的体外培养。为了提供可靠的细胞供应，维持了一个由大约6名健康志愿者组成的池，以供献血。每周，轮流从其中一名受试者身上采集多达250毫升的血液。志愿者每年接受三次安全测试。

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. Human red blood cells are needed by several research laboratories, to sustain in vitro cultures of malaria parasites (Plasmodium falciparum). In order to provide a reliable supply of cells, a pool of about six healthy volunteers is maintained, to be available for blood donation. Every week, up to 250 mL blood is collected from one of the subjects, on a rotating basis. Volunteers undergo safety testing three times annually.
