Abstract
Autologous bone marrow cells (BMC) are transplanted to a heterologous site in a patient after a sample of the patient's BMC has been tested and found to have a phenotypic profile which meets minimum criteria for transplantation. The phenotypic profile may be obtained by screening a sample of bone marrow cells (BMC) from the patient for the phenotypic profile, such as a CD profile, the phenotype profile may be assessed to determine the likelihood that the BMC will be suitable for transplantation to the heterologous tissue site without enriching particular phenotypic population(s) of the BMC.
