Procurement of Follicular B Cell Lymphoma Cells for the Purpose of Possible Use in Future Clinical Trials
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
In order to learn more about follicular lymphoma and anti-cancer vaccines, we are collecting samples from people with this diagnosis. We then hope to make a vaccine from this tissue to help the immune system destroy cancer cells. We plan on keeping samples in the tissue bank indefinitely.

Detailed Description
- The following tests and procedures will be performed: Approximately 50cc of peripheral blood will be drawn and stored in the tissue bank; patients who have follicular lymphoma cells circulating in the blood will have about 40cc's of blood drawn and stored for processing; patients undergoing a lymph node biopsy will have samples of the biopsy stored; patients having fluid drained from the abdomen or from around the lung will have some of their fluid saved to cell collection and processing; patients undergoing a bone marrow biopsy will have some of the sample stored for cell collection and processing.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Tissue collection for vaccine generation [2 years]
Collect eligible patient samples that potentially could be used to prepare autologous cell vaccines and possibly prepare autologous tumor cell injection for vaccine induced delayed-type hypersensitiviy evaluation for the companion treatment protocol. There will be no analysis performed on this protocol, the analysis will occur on a companion vaccination protocol. Patients will be consented to this protocol separately.
