Abstract: A method of treating a pulmonary disorder or injury in a subject in need thereof is disclosed. The method comprising administering to the subject non-syngeneic pulmonary tissue cells in suspension comprising an effective amount of hematopoietic precursor cells (HPCs) or supplemented with HPCs, wherein the effective amount is a sufficient amount to achieve tolerance to the pulmonary tissue cells in the absence of chronic immunosuppressive regimen. A method of inducing donor specific tolerance in a subject in need of a pulmonary cell or tissue transplantation is also disclosed.

Abstract: A method of conditioning a subject in need of transplantation of progenitor cells in suspension of a tissue of interest is disclosed. The method comprising: (a) administering to a subject a therapeutically effective amount of an agent capable of inducing damage to the tissue of interest, wherein the damage results in proliferation of resident stem cells in the tissue; and subsequently (b) subjecting the subject to an agent which ablates the resident stem cells in the tissue. A method of transplanting progenitor cells in suspension of a tissue of interest to a subject in need thereof is also disclosed.

Abstract: A pharmaceutical composition comprising as an active ingredient an isolated population of cell suspension from a mammalian fetal pulmonary tissue is disclosed. The fetal pulmonary tissue is at a developmental stage corresponding to that of a human pulmonary organ/tissue at a gestational stage selected from a range of about 20 to about 22 weeks of gestation. Methods of using the pharmaceutical composition are also disclosed.
