First or second renal transplant. 4. Use of FDA-approved methods of contraception (those with less than a 3% failure rate) by all recipients from the time that study treatment begins until 104 weeks (24 months) after renal transplantation. (For further information on FDA- approved methods of contraception, see https://www.fda.gov/media/150299/download 5. Ability to understand and provide informed consent. 6.

Acceptable laboratory parameters (hematology in normal or near-normal range. Liver function \<2 times the upper limit of normal, and normal creatinine) 5. Negative for viral infection with HbsAg, HIV, HCV, or HTLV-1 6. Negative COVID-19 test at the time of HSC procurement. Living Donor (LD) 1. Willingness to provide HSCs by leukapheresis or bone marrow aspiration. 2. Negative serologic pregnancy test for females of childbearing potential 3. Good general health as per conventional evaluation for kidney donation. 4. Acceptable laboratory parameters (hematology in normal or near normal range. Liver function \<2 times the upper limit of normal, and normal creatinine) 5. Negative for viral infection with HbsAg, HIV, HCV, or HTLV-1. 6. Cardiac/pulmonary function within normal limits (CXR, ECG). 7. Ability to understand and provide informed consent. 8. Meets standard institutional criteria for PBSC collection. 9.
