This patent covers non-human cells and stem cells that are "de-immunogenized" so that they may be transplanted into humans without rejection. The patent "de-immunogenizes" the cells by inducing expression of human anticomplement proteins, as well as by suppressing the expression of immunogenic proteins such as those of the MHC type.
