The Kansas women's basketball team hopes to bounce back from its two recent losses while the focus shifts from the starting lineup to the bench.
6. 10. Beating processes plasma to take out specific proteins and antibodies needed to fight disease.
"Well, it's extremely important for people with rare diseases such as hemophilia, immune deficiencies, inherited respiratory disease and a number of other serious rare diseases," said Christopher Florentz, manager of cooperate communications. "We take the plasma collected by our CSL plasma collection centers and we put it through a process called fractionation where basically we separated out the proteins in the plasma and we use those proteins to make biotherapies that are used to treat various diseases."
To create plasma products the company needs raw plasma. This is where the donation centers and students like Holbrook Walker come in.
"I told everyone I was doing it for a good cause but really I wanted money for back to school clothes," Walker said. "My paycheck I got all went to my rent and I needed some extra money to do that."
Holbrook did not want to have to get a job and balance schoolwork.
"I basically got paid to sit there and study," he said.
"I basically got paid to sit there and study," he said. During the semester, Holbrook sometimes made biweekly trips to the CSL plasma donation center, earning about $400 from more than 20 trips.
Donor compensation differs by weight class. The more a donor weighs the more plasma the center can take and the more money the donor can make.
"If you weigh under 150 it's not even worth it," Holbrook said. "It's like making minimum wage."
Florentz said that on average, a CSL plasma donation center pays $2 million per year to donors and that in total, donors made 18.5 million plasma donations in the U.S. in 2008.
"We refer to it as donating because we compensate for their time as opposed to their plasma," Florentz said.
With his ankle weights, Holbrook tipped the scales at just over 150 pounds.
Kansan: Is donating plasma a good idea or not from the donor's perspective?
Denning: From the donor perspective it could cut either way. For people who are young and healthy it doesn't impact their overall health in the long-term. However in the short term it can impact even healthy young people. When you donate plasma they are taking off specialized proteins called antibodies. They are our first line of defense against infection. And personally in the height of flu season I would not recommend anyone donate plasma because we all need to keep our antibodies at a nice healthy level.
UDK: Have you seen students come in with problems or injuries cause by plasma donation?
Denning: I do on occasion see people who come in who are sick who have influenza or respiratory infections who have donated plasma. And I'm like, quit doing that until flu seasons over!
Denning: It's not uncommon to get a little hematoma here or there. It's uncomfortable and does look very ugly and scary but those generally go away.
UDK: Some people bruise at the location where the needle is used for plasma donation. Is this serious?

The amount of money a donor receives for a plasma donation varies with weight, visit number and the amount of donations the donor has made in a week. This graph shows what donors will make during each visit to the CSL Plasma Donation Center assuming they give plasma twice a week.
