More than half of the investigated mRNAs encode proteins that deal with different aspects of the immune response, like NCCRP1 (non-specific cytotoxic cell receptor), C3 and C7 (complement components), and ferritin M, HP and TF (iron homeostasis), or play a crucial role in its regulation, like TRAF3.

Their hematologic status was determined by performing complete blood counts on a venous blood specimen and measuring ferritin as an indication of iron stores in a representative sample of approximately 10 percent.

Their ferritin, serum iron, total iron-binding capacity, zinc protoporphyrin, and hemoglobin values, as well as their suitability to donate blood, were determined initially (Visit 1) and at four follow-up visits (Visits 2-5).
