This patent teaches how to perform bone marrow transplantation, or transplantation of stem cells with hematopoietic potential, without completely ablating the recipient hematopoietic system. The patent uses various antibodies to not-completely deplete the host, but just enough so that the stem cells administered are not completely cleared away.
