ABSTRACT:
Allogeneic cells are removed from an individual predisposed to or suffering from scleroderma or related diseases, thereby treating the disease and inhibiting or preventing its recurrence. Allogeneic cells are identified in the individual and treatment tailored to remove such cells, in vivo or ex vivo, from the individual by cell separation or cytotoxic agents.
