[HAPS-L] Plasma donation

["John Moore" <JMoore@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Greetings all!

First - haven't rec'd a posting from the list for days!  Is it down, or
just a lot going on in the classrooms:)?

And on to the question....

Anyone have info on frequent plasma donation, and the effect on the
immune tolerance of the individual?  I checked the website for the
donation site, and they say you can donate TWICE a week (at $20 a pop:)

We have a lot of college students getting their beer money this way,
and I was just wondering what it was doing to their immune systems -
especially circulating antibody titers.

TIA
