The present invention aims to provide a therapeutic composition, particularly a composition for transplantation therapy, which can be cryopreserved, does not cause damage to cells due to thawing, and can be administered to a patient as is without undergoing additional processes such as washing or centrifugation of cells after thawing. A therapeutic composition for transplantation containing a corneal endothelial substitute cell having a CD24-positive phenotype, phenolphthalein derivative, and a cryoprotective agent. Such therapeutic composition can be safely transplanted into the chamber of the eye, even though it contains a cryoprotective agent. Since it is CD24 positive, it can be expected to have an effect of avoiding phagocytosis.
