A method for the treatment of cancer comprising administration of a therapeutically effective amount of an intralesional chemoablative pharmaceutical composition, or variant of said composition, in combination with a therapeutically effective amount of a systemic immunomodulatory anticancer agent. A further method for the treatment of cancer comprising administration of a therapeutically effective amount of an intralesional chemoablative pharmaceutical composition, or variant of said composition, in combination with a therapeutically effective amount of a systemic targeted anticancer agent. The present invention is further directed to pharmaceutical compositions for treatment of cancer. The intralesional chemoablative pharmaceutical composition can comprise an IL chemoablative agent comprising primarily a halogenated xanthene.

The present invention provides methods for inducing an immune response to a pathogen in neonatal mammals. In particular, the present invention provides methods for inducing an immune response to a pathogen in a neonatal mammal comprising administering to the neonatal mammal a composition comprising a fusion protein between interleukin-4 (IL-4) and a first antigen of the pathogen.

Recombinant herpes simplex virus 2 (HSV-2) vaccine vectors, compositions and vaccines comprising such, and methods of use thereof are each provided.

The invention provides Epstein-Barr Virus antigen polynucleotides, polypeptides and vectors; as well as immunogenic compositions comprising the same. It includes the use of Epstein-Barr Virus antigen constructs to produce vaccines for treating and preventing Epstein-Barr Virus infections and Epstein-Barr Virus-associated diseases, such as multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus.

The present invention provides herpesviruses, such as EBV, which lack at least one viral miRNA. Such herpesviruses lacking at least one viral miRNA are advantageously not capable of packaging their genome into the capsid, thereby producing HVLPs, which are substantially free of their herpesvirus genome or the nucleic acid molecule encoding the proteinaceous part of the HVLP and viral miRNA. Such HVLPs may be used as vaccine.

The present disclosure relates, in part, to methods of delivering transgenes to an eye of a subject comprising the use of pharmaceutical compositions having one or more polynucleotides suitable for enhancing, increasing, augmenting, and/or supplementing the levels of transgene expression in the eye. The present disclosure also relates, in part, to methods of correcting vision loss in a subject in need thereof comprising the use of the pharmaceutical compositions described herein.

The present disclosure relates, in part, to methods of delivering transgenes to an eye of a subject comprising the use of pharmaceutical compositions having one or more polynucleotides suitable for enhancing, increasing, augmenting, and/or supplementing the levels of transgene expression in the eye. The present disclosure also relates, in part, to methods of correcting vision loss in a subject in need thereof comprising the use of the pharmaceutical compositions described herein.

The invention relates to recombinant viral vectors for the insertion and expression of foreign genes for use in safe immunizations to protect against a variety of pathogens. The invention also relates to multivalent compositions or vaccine comprising one or more recombinant viral vectors for protection against a variety of pathogens. The present invention relates to methods of making an using said recombinant viral vectors.

The present invention relates to a preparation comprising Epstein-Barr virus-like particles (EB-VLPs), said EB-VLPs being essentially free of Epstein Barr virus (EBV) DNA, wherein said EB-VLPs comprise a vaccination polypeptide comprising at least one peptide of an EBV tegument polypeptide and at least one immunogenic peptide; and to polynucleotides, host cells, and methods related thereto.

The present invention relates to self-assembling protein nanoparticles with built-in six-helix bundle proteins. Proteins or peptides comprising a loop region are stabilized by attaching them to six-helix bundle (SHB) proteins and integrating them into self-assembling protein nanoparticles (SAPNs).
