Summary
Study start date: February 2, 1999
Actual date on which the first participant was enrolled.This protocol has been written to make available apheresis collections from volunteers matched to various degrees with recipients in order to test and, if necessary refine, the selective immunodepletion procedure prior to introducing it in a clinical trial.
