Brief Summary
To obtain the monocytes (white blood cells) from normal volunteers for the purpose of studying how proteins, fats, carbohydrates, as well as RNA and DNA for gene expression, relate to immunity. This information will be compared to other studies in patients with lung diseases such as Emphysema, Sarcoidosis, and Interstitial Pulmonary Fibrosis.
