Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Informed consent voluntarily signed by subject.
- Age: 18-55 years of age.
- Blood type O+ or O-.
Body mass index (BMI) of 18-30.
- Note: minimum body weight of 50 kg.
For female subjects (with male partners) that are not surgically sterilized (e.g., did not undergo hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy or tubal ligation), use of an effective method of contraception throughout the trial including:
- Using hormonal contraception (oral, injectable or implant) continuously for 3 months prior to screening and willing to continue to use hormonal contraception throughout the entire trial.
- Intrauterine device (IUD) inserted at least 1 month prior to screening.
- Double barrier type of birth control measure (e.g., condoms, diaphragms, cervical sponge with spermicide).
- True abstinence.
- For female subjects who are post-menopausal, documented follicle- stimulating hormone (FSH) ≥40 milli-international units per milliliter (mIU/mL) must be obtained. If the FSH is <40 mIU/mL, the subject must agree to use an acceptable form of contraception (see above).
- Females of childbearing potential without male sexual partners must be willing to maintain their sexual status as it is throughout the study.
For male subjects that have not had a vasectomy, use of a condom with spermicide or true abstinence for the duration of the study. Note: female partners (that are of childbearing potential) of male study subjects (that have not had a vasectomy) should use one of the effective contraception methods (eg, hormonal contraception, IUD or barrier type). Also, male subjects must not donate sperm for the duration of the study.
- Males without female sexual partners must be willing to maintain their sexual status as it is throughout the study.
- Healthy as determined by principal investigator or a qualified designate based on medical history, physical exam, vital signs, urinalysis, blood chemistry and hematology test results at screening.

- Females with a hemoglobin level ≤120 g/L.
- Males with a hemoglobin level <130 g/L.
- History of hypersensitivity to blood or plasma products.
- History of allergy to latex or rubber.
- History of immunoglobulin A (IgA) deficiency.
- History of hypercoagulable conditions (e.g., deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism).

- Plans to travel to an area with active flavivirus (e.g., ZIKV and/or DENV) transmission during the study (and up to 10 months after the study drug administration) or has returned from an endemic area with these diseases within 30 days of screening.
- Positive nucleic acid test (NAT) or serology for ZIKV or positive serology for WNV or DENV.
- Positive serology test (at screening) for human immunodeficiency virus 1 and 2 (HIV), hepatitis C virus (HCV); positive test for hepatitis B virus (HBV) as determined by HBsAg.
- History of chronic or acute severe neurologic condition (e.g., diagnosis of Guillain-Barre syndrome, epilepsy, Bell's palsy, meningitis or disease with any focal neurologic deficits).
- Heavy smokers (≥15cigarettes a day) or electronic cigarette use.
- History of, or suspected substance abuse problem (including alcohol).
