2. Donation after Cardiac Death (DCD) - Donor was pronounced dead prior to procurement of the kidney
3. Standard Criteria Donor (SCD)

* i. Donor with terminal serum creatinine \< 1.5 mg/dL where kidney is anticipated to have a minimum of 24 hours of cold ischemia prior to transplantation, OR
* ii. Donor with terminal serum creatinine \> 1.5 mg/dL and any cold ischemic time up to exclusion limit

* Donor meets both DCD and ECD criteria
* Subject has previously received, or is receiving an organ transplant other than a kidney
* Subject has a positive T or B cell crossmatch by the investigational site's standard method of determination. For recipients where only a flow cytometry crossmatch is performed and is positive in either T or B cell testing, recipients are excluded only if donor specific, anti-HLA antibody is detected by flow cytometry based, specific anti-HLA antibody testing

* Subject has an uncontrolled concomitant infection
* Subject has a current malignancy or a history of any malignancy (within the past 5 years), except non-metastatic basal or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin that has been treated successfully
