Disclosed are means, compositions of matter and protocols useful for treatment of COVID-19 and/or other inflammatory pathologies through stimulation of T regulatory cells and/or T cells expressing CD73 using administration of umbilical cord derived mesenchymal stem cells such as JadiCells. In one embodiment dosage of JadiCells needed to treat a patient is determined by the increase of T regulatory cells and/or CD73 expressing cells that are increased in number and/or activity subsequent to a test dose of JadiCells. In another embodiment stimulators of T regulatory cells and/or CD73 expressing T cells are utilized together with JadiCells in order to augment therapeutic activity. In some embodiments administration of JadiCell is performed with low dose interleukin-2 as a treatment for COVID-19 or other inflammatory related pathologies.

The present disclosure provides recombinant T cells that include a vector encoding one or more of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) gamma coactivator 1-alpha (PGC1α), mitochondrial transcription factor A (Tfam), GA binding protein transcription factor alpha subunit (GABPA), and estrogen-related receptor alpha (ERRα). Such recombinant T cells can also include a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) or a recombinant T cell receptor (TCR). Methods of using these recombinant T cells in cancer immunotherapy are provided. Also provided are kits and compositions that can be used with such methods.

Disclosed are methods, compositions of matter, and protocols useful for treatment of major depressive disorder through administration of low dose interleukin-2 at a concentration and/or frequency sufficient to increase expansion of T regulatory cell numbers and/or enhancement of T regulatory cell activity. In some embodiments administration of interleukin-2 is provided as means of enhancing efficacy of standard antidepressant therapies. Furthermore, administration of interleukin-2 receptor agonists is also described in the current invention as a treatment of major depressive disorder.

The invention provides methods of increasing the efficacy of a T cell therapy in a patient in need thereof. The invention includes a method of conditioning a patient prior to a T cell therapy, wherein the conditioning involves administering a combination of cyclophosphamide and fludarabine.

A method of eliciting an immune response in a patient who has a cancer includes administering to said patient a composition containing a population of activated T cells that selectively recognize the cancer cells in the patient that aberrantly express a peptide consisting of the amino acid sequence of GVYDGEEHSV (SEQ ID NO: 303), in which the peptide is in a complex with an MHC molecule.
