7.The subject agrees to refrain from blood donation throughout the study period.
8.Female subjects of non-childbearing potential may be enrolled in the study. Non-childbearing potential is defined as current bilateral tubal ligation or occlusion, hysterectomy, bilateral ovariectomy or post-menopause. All subjects of childbearing potential must agree to use continuous adequate contraception* until 2 months after completion of the study.

Female subject must have a negative pregnancy test at the inclusion visit.
A potential subject who meets any of the following criteria will be excluded from participation in this study:
1.Acute or chronic disease at time of administration, clinically significant pulmonary, cardiovascular, hepatic, renal, neurological or immunological functional abnormality, as determined by medical history, physical examination or laboratory screening tests
2.History of malignancy of any organ system (other than localized basal cell carcinoma of the skin), treated or untreated, within the past 5 years.
3.History of auto immune disease
4.Subjects with splenectomy
5.Chronic use of i) immunosuppressive drugs, ii) or other immune modifying drugs within three months prior to study onset (inhaled and topical corticosteroids and oral anti-histamines exempted) or expected use of such during the study period.
6.History of drug or alcohol abuse interfering with normal social function in the period of one year prior to study onset.
7.Known history of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) (No test will be done by the study)
