Linda, I'm mostly quoting from the paperwork that was given to me.
TYGRIS' purpose is to collect info on serious infections, cancers, and other serious side effects that may occur in patients with MS being treated with Tysabri.
After putting in the IV, the infusion nurse takes a syringe of blood to check liver levels, etc., plus a tube of blood for TYGRIS. Evidently, the latter tube of blood is kept in long-term storage for future testing.
