Hepatitis B or C serologic status: subjects who are hepatitis B core antibody (anti-HBc) positive and who are surface antigen negative will need to have a negative polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Those who are hepatitis B surface antigen (HbsAg) positive or hepatitis B PCR positive will be excluded. Subjects who are hepatitis C antibody positive will need to have a negative PCR result. Those who are hepatitis C PCR positive will be excluded. Subjects with a history of hepatitis C who received antiviral treatment are eligible as long as PCR is negative

• History of hemolytic transfusion reaction secondary to allo-antibodies
• Patients who have an active autoimmune disease that has required systemic treatment in past 2 years (i.e., with use of disease modifying agents, corticosteroids or immunosuppressive drugs). Replacement therapy (e.g., thyroxine, insulin, or physiologic corticosteroid replacement therapy for adrenal or pituitary insufficiency) is not considered a form of systemic treatment and is allowed. Agents with limited immunosuppressive activity (ex. Hydroxychloroquine) are allowed after discussion with the study PI ).
• Patients who have a history of (non-infectious) pneumonitis that required steroids or has current pneumonitis
• Known history of symptomatic deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism
• Known history of Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) or toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) or drug rash with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS)
