(a. Objectives, b. Methodology, c. Ionizing Radiation, Radioactive Substances, or Chemical Substances to which human subjects are exposed, d. Involvement of Human Subjects [d.1. procedures used, d.2. risks if any])

This project involves drawing of approximately 25-50 milliliters (ml) of blood from normal volunteers and labeling different blood components with radioactive nuclides in vitro in order to develop new compounds for nuclear medicine applications. Up to 20 normal volunteers will donate blood for this study each year. Each subject may volunteer 2-3 times. There is a slight possibility of infection and localized bleeding into the tissues.
