摘要:
The present disclosure relates to a recombinant oncolytic virus useful for inhibiting the growth of or killing tumor cells. More specifically, the recombinant oncolytic virus contains a heterologous nucleic acid sequence encoding an inflammation suppressive gene including, but not limited to, natural killer cell inhibitor, a chemokine binding protein, and an NF-?B inhibitor. Alternatively, the recombinant oncolytic virus contains a two or more heterologous nucleic acid sequences encoding one or more inflammation suppressive genes including, but not limited to, natural killer cell inhibitor(s), one or more chemokine binding protein(s), and/or one or more NF-?B inhibitor(s). Optionally, a recombinant oncolytic virus may further comprise one or more heterologous viral internal ribosome entry site (IRES) that is neuronally-silent. Such recombinant oncolytic viruses can be used to treat singular tumors or multi-focal tumors, such as those found in hepatocellular carcinoma or other cancers.
摘要:
Isolated polynucleotides and polypeptides derived from the genome of swine gamma-herpesviruses are disclosed, including recombinant cells and vectors encoding such polypeptides and expressing such polynucleotides. Use of the novel polynucleotides as probes of the swine genome is also described. Assay methods employing antibodies against the isolated polypeptides are also disclosed.
摘要:
The live recombinant avian vaccine comprises, as vector, an ILTV containing and expressing at least a heterologous nucleotide sequence, said nucleotide sequence being inserted in the insertion locus formed by the internal ribosome entry site (IRES) located between the stop codons of COL D and COL E of ILTV and which, in a particular ILTV strain is defined between nucleotides 3873 and 4260 at SEQ ID NO:1. The heterologous nucleotide sequence can be under the control of a strong eukaryotic promoter, such as CMV-IE promoter, and can be derived from viruses of Newcastle disease, Marek disease, Gumboro disease, infectious bronchitis, chicken anaemia, chicken pneumovirosis. The invention also concerns a multivalent vaccine comprising at least two live vaccines as per the invention and the recombined ILTV virus.

摘要:
A clone of Human B Lymphotropic Virus (HBLV), pZVH14 has been isolated (from the peripheral blood leukocytes of six individuals) and characterized. The clone is obtained from nucleic acids extracted from purified virus, and contains a 9.0 Kb HindIII fragment of HBLV. HBLV contains a double-stranded DNA genome and is morphologically similar to some members of the Herpes family. The clone is lymphotropic and selectively infects freshly isolated human B cells, where it induces the appearance of characteristic large refractile mononucleated or binucleated host cells.

摘要:
Provided herein are modified infectious laryngotracheitis viruses (ILTVs) and methods of using the same. For example, provided are attenuated ILTVs. The attenuated ILTVs can be used to illicit immune responses in avian species. Optionally, the attenuated ILTVs can be used to vaccinate an avian subject or a population of avian subjects. Optionally, an attenuated ILTV is administered in ovo to an avian egg. One or more such in ovo administration can be used to increase the immunity of an avian herd.
摘要:
Provided herein are isolated viral and human nucleic acids associated with viral infection and various nucleic acid molecules relating thereto or derived therefrom. The nucleic acids may be useful for the prevention, treatment and diagnosis of viral infections.
摘要:
The invention features new helper virus-free methods for making herpesvirus amplicon particles that can be used in immunotherapies, including those for treating any number of infectious diseases and cancers (including chronic lymphocytic leukemia, other cancers in which blood cells become malignant, lymphomas (e.g. Hodgkin's lymphoma or non-Hodgkin's type lymphomas). Described herein are methods of making helper virus-free HSV amplicon particles; cells that contain those particles (e.g., packaging cell lines or patients' cells, infected in vivo or ex vivo); particles produced according to those methods; and methods of treating a patient with an hf-HSV particle made according to those methods.
