Section Six: Human Participation in Research

CASE STUDY: Blood in the Lab

No further clarification is needed. This case does not involve human research issues.

As the infected blood samples were acquired with informed consent and not identified when they reached the lab, there is no human research issue for this acquisition, as long as participants consented to their tissue being used for research purposes. A copy of that protocol should be available for review.

However, the ethical issues in this case relate to the collection of blood sample controls in the lab.
