Age minimum:
Age maximum:
Gender: Both
Health Condition(s) or Problem(s) studied
Blood sampling from healthy, adult volunteers for isolation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) for in vitro analysis of the human immune response towards Nanobodies.
Not Applicable
Intervention(s)
Blood sampling (up to 450 ml). Nothing is administered.
Primary Outcome(s)
T cell proliferation and differentiation in vitro as surrogate marker for the in vivo development of anti-drug antibody formation, measured 1-2 weeks after blood sampling.
Secondary Outcome(s)
Immunogenic regions of the Nanobodies are identified and mutated, and the resulting new Nanobodies are tested once again for immunogenicity. Measurements are carried out 2.5 years after blood sampling.
