The cells can differentiate into at least one ce type of each of at least two of the endodermal, ectodermal, and mesodennal lineages. The cells 5 do not provoke a harmful immune response, The cells can modulate immune responses. As an. example, the celis can suppress an immune response in a host engendered by allogeneic cells, tissues, and organs. Methods are described for using the cells, by themselves or adjuncively, to treat subjects, For instance, the cells can be used adjunc tively for immunosnppression in transplant therapy. Methods for obtaining the 10 cells and compositions for using them also are described,
