Zusammenfassung:The invention relates to the isolation and use of a novel progenitor cell population from the lamina propria of the oral mucosa. The novel progenitor cell population is highly proliferative and can be differentiated into a range of cell lineages. Further, these novel progenitor cells possess immunomodulatory activity and so can be used in the allogeneic transfer of tissue or to help combat immune disorders.
