Study Summary

This study is being conducted to better understand the role of inflammation in Parkinson's disease (PD) and Alzheimer's disease (AD). The investigators plan to recruit 30 PD, 30 AD/Amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment (aMCI), and 60 age matched healthy controls in this study to study the role of immune response in PD and AD. The study involves up to two study visits involving brief questionnaires and blood draw of up to 250cc (approximately 17 tablespoons) to be collected. More ways to participate, including 1) smaller amount blood donation (up to 100cc per visit for 1-2 visits); and 2) participation via tele-visit and mobile phlebotomy visits (blood donation up to 50cc, \~5 tubes, by a certified mobile phlebotomist at home/location of choice) now available.

Primary Outcome

Blood samples from patients and controls will be processed. The presence of T cell response against the candidate antigens by patient blood-derived peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) will be assessed using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent spot (ELISPOT) assay.
