This patent teaches how to generate T cells from hematopoietic stem cells in vitro. T cells may be used for immune stimulation, or in some other cases may be used for generation of T suppressor cells. If nuclear transfer can be performed in the starting population of cells, then patient-specific T cells may be generated.
