1. A method of selecting a subject for treatment, the method comprising:
(a) contacting an apheresis sample with a reagent capable of detecting CD14+ myeloid cells, wherein:
the apheresis sample is from a subject that is a candidate for treatment with a cell therapy comprising a dose of genetically engineered cells expressing a recombinant receptor; and
the apheresis sample is obtained from the subject prior to administering the cell therapy; and
(b) selecting for treatment a subject in which:
i) the percentage of cells in the sample that are surface positive for CD14 is at or above a threshold level of at least 20%, thereby identifying a subject that is at risk for developing a neurotoxicity to the cell therapy; and
(c) administering an agent capable of treating, preventing, delaying, reducing, or attenuating the development of a neurotoxicity and the cell therapy to the subject.
