About

The purpose of this study is to develop a collection of iPS cells called a bank ("Bank") that are immune-matched to a large percentage of the US population by containing the most common HLA haplotypes in the US population.

Full description

This study is being done to produce a bank of iPS cells that researchers from around the world can use for many different purposes. Some examples of such uses include basic research, discovery of new medicines, developing new products and services useful for studying human disease, and developing new cell-based products useful for treating people that have diseases. The idea of using cells made from human iPS cells to treat human diseases is of great interest in medicine. In this bank, a single donor's cells could be used to treat many people.

The iPS cells that are made as part of this study will be included in a bank owned by CDI. The iPS cells and the cells made from them will be available for laboratory research or for clinical use in patients. It is possible that the iPS cells made from the blood donated and cells made from the iPS cells could be beneficial to many different patients and be used for many different research projects to understand human biology and disease.
