Immune Cell Activation of Healthy Human Subjects
Rochester, MN
The purpose of this research study is to establish a pool of healthy donors who will regularly participate in our research studies of human immunity. The studies in our laboratory investigate the role of human blood cells in immunity to fungal disease and lung fibrosis. Most of our studies require blood that is freshly drawn. Thus, we propose to draw blood on an as needed, ongoing basis.

A Study to Evaluate Interferon-gamma in Antifungal Immunity
Rochester, MN
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the role of interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) in antifungal defense and its potential use in adjunctive immunotherapy. Solid organ transplant (SOT) and hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) recipients are at increased risk for invasive fungal infections. Mortality rates remain unacceptably high despite antifungal treatment. Novel therapeutic modalities are urgently needed. In this project, we propose to study the role of interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) in antifungal defense and its potential use in adjunctive immunotherapy.
