TREATMENT OF AMYOTROPHIC LATERAL SCLEROSIS USING UMBILICAL DERIVED CELLS
First Claim
1. A method of treating amyotrophic lateral sclerosis comprising administering umbilical cord tissue-derived cells in an amount effective to treat amyotrophic lateral sclerosis to a patient, wherein the umbilical cord tissue-derived cells are isolated from human umbilical cord tissue substantially free of blood, are capable of self-renewal and expansion into culture, have the potential to differentiate into cells of other phenotypes, can undergo at least 40 doublings, and have the following characteristics:
- (a) expresses each of CD10, CD13, CD44, CD73, CD90, PDGFr-alpha, PD-L2 and HLA-A, B, C;
(b) does not express any of CD31, CD34, CD45, CD80, CD86, CD117, CD141, CD178, B7-H2, HLA-G, or HLA-DR, DP, DQ; and
(c) increased expression of interleukin-8;
reticulon 1; and
chemokine receptor ligand (C-X-C motif) ligand 3, relative to that of a human cell which is a fibroblast, a mesenchymal stem cell, or an iliac crest bone marrow cell.

Abstract
This invention relates to methods of treating amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. In particular, the invention provides for methods of treating amyotrophic lateral sclerosis by administering umbilical cord tissue-derived cells, an effective amount of a substantially homogenous population of umbilical cord tissue-derived cells or a pharmaceutical composition comprising umbilical cord tissue-derived cells to a patient.
