Children Helping Children With Immune Diseases

Official Title Creation of a pediatric healthy control repository for clinical diagnostic immunology test development and validation

Purpose

This study uses healthy children from newborns to 18 years old to help understand immune disorders. This study will compare healthy children and teens to children and teens with disorders of the immune system.

Volunteers will visit Nationwide Children's Hospital (NCH) for a blood draw either one time or not more than once every three months.

• Has no chronic medical conditions that can affect results of immunological studies
• Is not on any medication known to alter immune status or function
• Has not undergone recent surgery, chemotherapy, radiation or transplantation
