A method of inducing stable and functional Tregs from human umbilical cord blood and adult blood without requiring the expansion of pre-existing Tregs. The method utilizes CD14+ monocyte cells present in or isolated from cord blood or adult blood to induce functional Tregs from T cells, and particularly T cells that express CD4+, which may also be obtained from cord blood or adult blood. The developed Tregs are long-lasting and maintain their suppressive functions.
