The Laboratory of Immune System Biology plays a major role in fostering the growth of systems biology efforts across the National Institutes of Health, in large measure through its development of new tools for high-throughput data generation and complex systems modeling. The lab's experimental component requires ongoing assay development and optimization, which depend on the availability of human biological samples for testing. The primary purpose of this protocol is to obtain biological specimens from healthy volunteers to support the lab s development and optimization of scientific assays and to use as control samples for research tests in other studies.The secondary objective of this study is to track immunologic changes over time using the assays developed and optimized in this study.
