Each subject will receive one infusion of autologous, radiolabeled and BioRBC labeled INTERCEPT RBCs (Test RBCs) and one infusion of autologous BioRBC labeled untreated RBCs (Control RBCs) concomitantly. Each infusion will be approximately 20 mL, i.e., 10 mL of 51-chromium labeled RBC, and 10 mL of

Background and Rationale: Sickle cell disease (SCD) affects 250,000 births per year worldwide, with 70-80,000 patients currently residing in the US. Although classically thought of as a genetic hemoglobinopathy, most of the clinical complications are vascular in etiology and pulmonary manifestations
