    Abstract: The present invention discloses a recombinant adenovirus vector of a replication-defective human adenovirus (HAdv85C5) or a bovine adenovirus (BAdv85C5) comprising a recombinant adenovirus vector having a heterologous DNA segment encoding mycobacterial Ag85B-p25 epitope (SEQ ID NO: 1), mycobacterial Ag85B-p25 epitope fusion of autophagy-inducing peptide-C5 (SEQ ID NO: 2), or a substantially homologous functional fragment thereof. The vector, having a heterologous DNA segment of SEQ ID NO: 3, SEQ ID NO: 4, or a substantially homologous functional fragment thereof, is an effective vaccine for therapeutically or prophylactically immunizing a subject for protection of infections by various microorganisms, especially Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), which causes the widespread tuberculosis. Methods of uses and pharmaceutical composition matters are within the scope of this disclosure.

    Abstract: The invention provides methods and compositions that improve the success of organ transplantation. The methods and compositions are directed to exposing a desired organ to stem cells prior to, during, and/or after transplantation. In one embodiment, the stem cells reduce the deleterious effects of ischemia on an organ designated to be harvested for transplantation or that has been harvested for transplantation. In another embodiment in which an organ designated for transplantation is perfused ex vivo, the method involves reducing ischemic reperfusion injury by perfusing the organ with a medium that contains stem cells.
