Collection of Blood Samples for In-Vitro Studies From Healthy Adult Blood Donors Who Have Received Oral Typhoid Vaccine (TY21A)

HP-00040022

This is an open-label, non-randomized study. Volunteers will be vaccinated with the typhoid oral vaccine, Vivotif. Vivotif has been licensed by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for travelers to developing countries. Volunteers will also be asked to provide blood, saliva, and stool specimens over a follow-up time period of up to eight years. The specimens obtained in this clinical research study will be used to further the investigator's understanding of the protective immunological mechanisms that can be elicited systemically and may be applicable to other enteric pathogens.

Current symptoms of heart disease - dyspnea, angina, orthopnea) * Recurrent infections (more than 3 hospitalizations for invasive bacterial infections such as pneumonia or meningitis) * Current drug or alcohol abuse * Active ulcer disease or ongoing intestinal condition * Treatment for anemia in last 6 months * Currently being treated with anti-malarial drugs * Any of the following laboratory abnormalities detected during medical screening: * WBC \<0.81 x LLN or \> 1.09 x ULN * Hemoglobin \<0.91 x LLN or \>1.18 x ULN (women) or \<0.92 x LLN or \>1.18 x ULN (men) * Platelet count \<0.8 x LLN or \> 1.2 x ULN * (For leukopheresis or blood unit donations, the following lab values are exclusionary: * WBC \<3.5 or \>11 x 103/mm3; * Hemoglobin \<12.5 or \>18 g/dl * Platelet count \<150 or \>500 x 103/mm3) * SGOT or SGPT \>1.5 times normal * Positive serology for hepatitis C or HIV antibody or hepatitis B surface antigen * Positive serology for hepatitis B core antibody * Poor peripheral venous access for blood donation * Positive RPR * Other condition that in the opinion of the investigator would jeopardize the safety or rights of a volunteer participating in the trial or interfere with the scientific integrity of study. * Positive urine pregnancy test (HCG) on day of vaccination. Prior to each blood donation -females with menstrual history consistent with pregnancy. Pregnant women will not be enrolled, because immunological changes that occur during pregnancy may interfere with laboratory assays.
