Participant Flow
Subject enrollment 2008-2012. Subjects were recruited at the Northwestern University Medical Center, in the comprehensive Transplant Center. Enrollment has been completed since 2012
1 subject did not did not receive the DHSC infusions due to the immediate pre-operative cross-match again the donor that was unexpectedly found to be positive

PRIMARY outcome
Timeframe: 24 months post-transplant with follow-up to 10 yearsThe ability to withdraw immunosuppression as above 24 months post-transplant with follow-up to 10 years.
Outcome measures
| Measure |
Kidney Transplant Recipients Who Received Infusion of Donor Hematopoietic Stem Cells and Campath-1H
n=19 Participants
No separate arms: All Enrolled Receive Same Treatment
Infusion of Donor Hematopoietic Stem Cells and Campath-1H: Intervention: a four-dose (peri-operative and 3, 6, and 9-month boost) DHSC infusion protocol using two-dose Campath-1H induction combined with transient (conditioning) Tacrolimus/Sirolimus and MMF therapy will result in a high degree of macro-chimerism (\>10%), and a robust prolonged donor-specific (post-thymic) immunoregulatory condition that will allow renal transplant survival in the absence of permanent immunosuppression.
