Abstract

The invention describes the preparation of non-infectious control cells from normal, non-infectious, non-disease altered blood by depletion or augmentation of one or more cell types found in normal blood to reflect a specific disease state. The control cells so produced are preserved and thereafter reconstituted for use in immunological assays.
