1. A method of conditioning a human subject having a hemoglobinopathy for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, the method comprising administering to a human subject an amount of an immunotoxin effective to condition the human subject for hematopoietic stem cell engraftment by selectively depleting endogenous hematopoietic stem cells in the human subject,
wherein the immunotoxin comprises an antibody, or an antigen-binding fragment thereof, conjugated to a toxin, wherein the immunotoxin selectively binds to the endogenous hematopoietic stem cells, wherein the immunotoxin is internalized by the endogenous hematopoietic stem cells, wherein the immunotoxin is capable of conditioning an immunocompetent subject, and wherein the method does not induce life-threatening anemia in the human subject prior to transplantation of hematopoietic stem cells.
