PVBs are fractionated into plasmas lymphocytes and DNA and are then frozen.

The HIV component of the BioBank contains samples from over 400 donations from 1 38 HIV patients. Thus the KCL Infectious Diseases BioBank -together with establishments such as the Spanish HIV BioBank - is likely to expedite translational research into this infection. Commentary A recent Correspondence described the Spanish HIV BioBank 1 and here we would like
