This treatment involves the injection of macrophages derived from the patient's blood into the spinal cord just below the area of damage. The treatment, which must be provided within 14 days of spinal cord injury, requires a surgical procedure to open the spine for the injection of the macrophage cells into the spinal cord. Patient, Immediate Family of Patient and/or Physician inquiries about Phase II Trial should be directed to the 24 hour a day Patient Recruitment Center: Email:
