Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
- Cellular composition of bone marrow compartment by FACS<br /><br>- Ex-vivo cytokine (IL-1â, TNF, IL-6, IL-10, IFNã) release of full bone marrow aspirate, PBMCs, CD34+ cell fraction and bone marrow derived macrophages upon stimulation with PAMPs (e.g. LPS) and pathogens (e.g. S. aureus, C. albicans, M. tuberculosis, S. pneumonia)<br /><br>Secondary study parameters<br>
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
- Glycolytic activity of bone marrow, spleen and lymph nodes by use of FDG-PET by measuring standardized uptake values in predesignated volumes of interest.<br /><br>- Functional assessment of PBMC function <br /><br>- Hematopoietic lineage differentiation<br /><br>- Gene expression of HSPCs and peripheral blood monocytes<br /><br>- Epigenetic changes in HSPCs and peripheral blood monocytes<br /><br>- Cellular metabolism of HSPCs and peripheral blood monocytes<br /><br>- SNP analysis for SNPs known to influence innate immune function will be analysed and correlated with induction of trained immunity in PBMCs and HSPCs <br /><br>
