HLA matched activated lymphocytes in mononuclear cells separated from peripheral blood or umbilical cord blood are proliferated and activated. After separating and collecting, the HLA matched activated lymphocytes are employed as the main component of a composition for promoting survival of transplanted hematopoietic stem cells. The obtained composition is widely usable in, for instance, prevention of survival failure of transplanted hematopoietic stem cells and therapy for promoting the survival thereof. Although the dose of the composition varies depending on the age, conditions, etc. of a patient, a humanized antibody is administered in a dose of from 0.2 to 20 ml/kg/day to mammals including humans. The composition is administered by intravenous injection either once a day (single administration or continuous administration) or intermittently once to 3 times in a week or once in 2 or 3 weeks.

Activated lymphocytes derived from cord blood are excellently effective for preventing and treating various types of tumors and various types of infection. With interleukin 2 and/or anti-CD3 antibody, the lymphocytes derived from the cord blood is prepared by segregating lymphocytes from the cord blood and proliferating the segregated lymphocytes directly in vitro or segregating monocytes from cord blood and proliferating the monocytes in vitro. Also, the cord blood-derived activated lymphocytes can be effectively used for preventing recurrence of the diseases and promoting the take of stem cells or other organs.
