Genome-wide profiling of whole blood from healthy adult volunteers before and after receiving non-live vaccines including seasonal influenza or pneumococcal vaccine or placebo (saline) injections II

The objective of this study is to: 1) Characterize the immune responsiveness to administration of non-live vaccines in three cohorts of healthy adult subjects through the analysis of blood leukocytes transcriptional profiles. 2) Validate whole blood transcriptional profiles generated from standard 3mL blood draws versus 200uL blood draws obtained by finger stick. 3) Discover potential biomarkers for immune-responsiveness to non-live vaccines.
