[IMMUNE protocol requires the collection to occur first thingpost-sleep, before eating, drinking and brushing teeth, and allsamples are stored at ambient temperature. Along with NUTRITION(Nutritional Status Assessment), INTEGRATED IMMUNE samples &analyzes participant's blood, urine, and saliva before, during andafter flight for changes related to functions like bone metabolism,oxidative damage and immune function to develop and validate animmune monitoring strategy consistent with operational flightrequirements and constraints.
