13. Subjects with congenital or acquired immunodeficiency.
14. Contraindication to MRI scan
15. Current or recent history of abnormal, severe, progressive, uncontrolled hepatic, haematological, gastrointestinal (except CD), endocrine, pulmonary, cardiac, neurological, psychiatric, or cerebral disease.
