Bone mar readily handled and packaged, remaining as a physically and row is harvested from the patient or other individual and then chemically stable unit dose comprising either the active con incubated in medium containing serum to which is added the jugate itself, or as a pharmaceutically acceptable composi conjugate of the invention, concentrations range from about 1 tion, as described hereinafter. As such, typical total daily/ pM to 0.1 mM, for about 30 minutes to about 48 hours at about weekly/biweekly/monthly dose ranges are from 0.01 to 100 37° C. The exact conditions of concentration and time of mg/kg of body weight. By way of general guidance, unit incubation (-dose) are readily determined by the skilled cli doses for humans range from 1 mg to 3000 mg per day, or per nicians. After incubation, the bone marrow cells are washed week, per two week or per month.
