Fusion proteins comprising IL2 and IL2Rβ (e.g., CIRB), IL2, IL2Rβ and IL21R (e.g., CIRB21), and/or comprising IL2, IL2Rβ, and CD28 (e.g., CIRB28); natural killer (NK) cells that express the fusion proteins and methods of use thereof, e.g., to treat subjects with cancer; and regulatory T cells (T-regs) that express a fusion protein comprising IL2, IL2Rβ, and CD28 and methods of use thereof, e.g., to treat subjects with autoimmune disease or GVHD.

Tethered interleukin-2 to its receptor IL-2RBETA, a platform to enhance natural killer and regulatory T cell activity

The present invention generally relates to compositions comprising anesthesia-reversing agents which facilitate or increase the time of awakening or reverse the effects of general anesthesia-induced unconsciousness. In some embodiments, the anesthesia reversing agent can be selected from any or a combination of methylphenidate (MPH), amphetamine, modafinil, amantadine, caffeine, or analogues or derivatives thereof. In some embodiments, compositions comprising at least one or more anesthesia-reversing agents can be used to facilitate awakening from anesthesia without or decreasing occurrence of delirium, and can be used in methods to treat or prevent the symptoms associated with emergence delirium, as well as treat a subject oversedated with general anesthesia. The invention also relates to methods for administering these compositions comprising anesthesia-reversing agents to subjects and for use.

Reversal of general anesthesia by administration of methylphenidate, amphetamine, modafinil, amantadine, and/or caffeine

Provided are methods for reversing the effects of drugs of abuse. The method involves administering acyclic CB[n]-type compounds to a mammal in need of the reversal of the effects from a drug of abuse.
