Abstract
Compositions or medicaments comprising allogenic activated-CD4+ cells as the main ingredient, which are attributable to an organ or bone marrow transplantation donor, have an extremely beneficial effect for preventing recidivation of a tumor and remedying various infections such as viral infections, and autoimmune diseases such as phagocytosis, without causing any serious GVHD. The allogenic activated-CD4+ cells can be produced by separating lymphocyte cells or CD4+ cells from peripheral blood of the donor or removing CD8+ cells from the peripheral blood of the donor by using anti-CD8+ antibodies to obtain CD4+ cells and proliferating the CD4+ cells thus prepared in proliferation activator.
