The present invention relates to compositions and methods for treatment of microbial disorder by modulation of the host immune response. More particularly, the present invention relates to compositions that mediate an anti-microbial immune response, and methods of treating a microbial infection using such compositions.

Disclosed are pharmaceutical or cosmetic compositions comprising secretomes, for example secreted proteins from stem cells, and uses thereof. A composition that contains a secretome and an acceptable excipient may be free of a cell. The compositions are useful for inducing an immune response, treating an inflammatory response, treating a microbial infection, differentiating cells, wound healing, embryonic development, placental development, central nervous system development, or morphogenesis.

The present invention relates to a cell-free, stem cell conditioned medium and a process for preparation thereof. Further, the present invention relates to a therapeutic composition comprising the said stem cell conditioned medium for therapeutic and cosmetic purposes. Additionally, the present invention relates to a method for treating dermatological conditions and aiding in hair regeneration by administering the composition of the present invention.

The present invention relates to an anti-IL-6 agent for use in a method of preventing or treating post-operative pain in an individual.

The present invention includes compositions and methods for detecting the presence of: a coronavirus or an immune response to a coronavirus infection including T cells responsive to one or more coronavirus peptides or proteins comprising, consisting of, or consisting essentially of: one or more amino acid sequences selected from SEQ ID NO: 1 to 1126, subsequences, portions, homologues, variants or derivatives; a fusion protein comprising one or more amino acid sequences selected from SEQ ID NO: 1 to 1126; a pool of peptides or proteins selected from the amino acid sequences set forth in SEQ ID NO: 1 to 1126; or a polynucleotide that encodes one or more peptides or proteins, comprising, consisting of, or consisting essentially of an amino acid sequence selected from SEQ ID NO: 1 to 1126, subsequences, portions, homologues, variants or derivatives. The invention further provides vaccines, diagnostics, therapies, and kits, comprising such proteins or peptides.

A method is for the treatment of a viral infection with human alpha-1 antitrypsin (A1AT). Methods and compositions for the treatment of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in a patient, include administering to the patient a therapeutically effective amount of human alpha-1 antitrypsin. The A1AT is administered in an amount between 60 mg/kg and 200 mg/kg. Methods and compositions for the treatment of Cytokine Release Syndrome (CRS) in a patient, include administering to the patient a therapeutically effective amount of an inhibitor of interleukin-6 in combination with a therapeutically effective amount of A1AT.

The invention relates to methods for treating COVID-19 by targeting the inflammasome/caspase1/pyroptosis axis as a key inflammatory pathway. In particular, the invention relates to treating a patient infected with SARS-CoV-2 with an effective amount of one or more compounds that directly or indirectly inhibit one or more pathways of the inflammasome/caspase1/pyroptosis axis.
