Measure
Single Arm Intervention
Leukapheresis. All subjects will be assigned to the the same intervention arm. Leukapheresis: Catheter placement will occur for about 1 hour. The research nurse will schedule leukapheresis on the next day following catheter placement. On the day of leukapheresis, a blood draw will monitor blood counts, kidney function, liver function, and blood clotting ability. Vital signs will be checked three times over the course of intervention. During the procedure, blood is mixed with anticoagulant and separated (i.e. red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, and plasma). 1-1.5 cups of white blood cells will be collected. Leukapheresis will last 3-6 hours. Remaining components, except for 100-200 ml of plasma, are returned through the catheter. Two teaspoons of blood will be drawn to determine when catheter removal can occur. This part of intervention lasts about 2.5-4 hours.

Number of Regulatory CD4+CD25+ T Cells Obtained From 150 ml of Peripheral Blood in an ESLD Patient
10000000000 Tregs/150ml

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 21 days

Assay testing - Suppressive function of expanded cells will be assessed using in vitro assays of alloreactivity (mixed lymphocyte culture). The in vitro assays will test whether the expanded Tregs will retain their suppressive function.
