Please help us save the life of a valued member of the scientific community. All it takes is blood from a qualified donor.
You qualify if you:

- Have an A+, A-, O+ or O- blood type. We can determine blood type with a simple blood collection if you do not know.

- Do not have a history of autoimmune disease, coronary artery disease, clotting in your arteries or veins, inflammation in your eyes, or sickle cell disease or one of its variants
- Do not have uncontrolled hypertension, diabetes, or active peptic ulcer disease
What is involved for the Donor?
- Pre-screening: Complete screening form via phone or e-mail to determine eligibility.
- Visit 1: Consent process and standard blood collection to determine donor/recipient match.
- Visit 2: Physical exam and standard blood collection for repeat testing.
- Visit 3: Preparation for granulocyte (white blood cell) collection.
- Visit 4: Granulocyte (white blood cell) collection (Apheresis—similar to plasma donation). See link below for additional information on the apheresis process.
There is nothing experimental about the blood collections or the apheresis procedure. Donors will be donating their blood, not receiving any blood products or experimental treatments. Visits will be conducted in Boynton Beach, FL.
Qualified donors will be reimbursed for their time and travel?
