• Absolute neutrophil count in normal range for the laboratory.
• Platelet count greater than 130,000 cells/mm³.
• Hemoglobin concentration greater than or equal to 11 g/dL.
• PT in the normal range for the laboratory.
• Normal aPTT.
• Bilirubin in the normal range unless due to documented Gilbert's disease.
• Serum creatinine less than or equal to 1.5 times the upper limit of the normal range.
• Urinalysis showing no evidence of infection or active renal disease (e.g., proteinuria).
• Subjects must be able to adhere to the visit schedule set forth in this protocol.
• Written informed consent prior to the performance of any study related procedures.

• Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection (HBV surface antigen or DNA in blood).
• Antiviral therapy for HCV within 3 months.
• Immunomodulatory therapy (e.g., systemic corticosteriods or interferon) within 3 months.
• Advanced or decompensated liver disease (e.g., history of bleeding varices, spontaneous hepatic encephalopathy, ascites) of any etiology such as alcohol, drug, obesity, or hemochromatosis.
• ALT greater than 5x ULN.
• Histologic evidence of cirrhosis.
• Presence of an underlying disease state associated with active bleeding.
• Undergoing therapeutic anticoagulation with heparin or warfarin.
• Presence of any other active infection requiring therapy.
• Presence of malignancy.
• Presence or history of any significant medical illness that might interfere with this study.
• Receipt of an investigational new drug, biological or therapeutic device within 30 days of study entry.
• Alcohol or drug abuse requiring medical intervention within 2 years.
