The subject invention pertains to materials and methods for the treatment of latent viral infections.

The present disclosure relates to liquid and dried compositions comprising a live, attenuated or genetically modified herpesvirus and methods of preparing such compositions, in one aspect, the composition comprises at least two or more pharmaceutically acceptable exetpients, at least one of which is histidine and at least one of which is a sugar or sugar alcohol. The compostions retain a sufficiently high infectious titre following storage or large-scale manufacturing steps, such as lyophilization.

The present disclosure provides recombinant nucleic acids comprising one or more polynucleotides encoding a cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) polypeptide (e.g., a human CFTR polypeptide); viruses comprising the recombinant nucleic acids; compositions and formulations comprising the recombinant nucleic acids and/or viruses; methods of their use (e.g., for the treatment of a chronic lung disease, such as cystic fibrosis); and articles of manufacture or kits thereof.
