The present disclosure relates to polynucleotides comprising a nucleic acid sequence encoding a replication competent viral genome, wherein the polynucleotide is capable of producing a replication competent virus when introduced into a cell by a non-viral delivery vehicle. The present disclosure further relates to the encapsulation of the polynucleotides and the use of the polynucleotides and/or particles for the treatment and prevention of cancer.

An oncolytic poxvirus encoding a truncated human CD19 is used in conjunction with a chimeric antigen receptor to treat solid tumors.

The present invention is directed to novel nucleotide and amino acid sequences of Porcine Sapelovirus (PSV), including novel genotypes thereof, all of which are useful in the preparation of vaccines for treating and preventing diseases in swine and other animals. Vaccines provided according to the practice of the invention are effective against multiple swine PSV genotypes and isolates. Diagnostic and therapeutic polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies are also a feature of the present invention, as are infectious clones useful in the propagation of the virus and in the preparation of vaccines. Particularly important aspects of the invention include polynucleotide constructs that replicate in tissue culture and in host swine. The invention also provides for novel full-length PSV genomes that can replicate efficiently in host animals and tissue culture.

Provided is a host cell for stably propagating a virulent hand, foot and mouth disease virus, the host cell expressing no heparan sulfate and overexpressing primate scavenger receptor class B member 2 (SCARB2). Also provided is a method for screening for an anti-hand, foot and mouth disease virus vaccine or an anti-hand, foot and mouth disease virus drug using a stably cultured virulent hand, foot and mouth disease virus.

The present disclosure relates to recombinant RNA molecules encoding an oncolytic virus genome. The present disclosure further relates to the encapsulation of the recombinant RNA molecules and the use of the recombinant RNA molecules and/or particles for the treatment and prevention of cancer.

A Senecavirus A polypeptide generally includes at least a portion of 151-434 of SEQ ID NO:1, amino acids 435-673 of SEQ ID NO:1, or amino acids 674-937 of SEQ ID NO:1. The Senecavirus A polypeptide may be used as a capture antigen in a method or device for detecting antibody that specifically binds to the Senecavirus A polypeptide. The Senecavirus A polypeptide may be used as a immunogen to vaccinate a subject having or at risk of having a Senecavirus A infection.

The present invention relates to a composition comprising a probe for detecting six representative causative viruses of acute enteritis (norovirus genogroup I and genogroup II, rotavirus, hepatitis A virus, coxsackievirus, astrovirus, and adenovirus), and a DNA microarray, a kit, and a detection method comprising the composition. The present invention is effective due to high specificity and sensitivity to viruses. In addition, since the causative viruses can simply be detected at low cost compared to conventional detection methods, without expensive diagnosis devices or specialists, the present invention may be effectively used as a method for diagnosing viruses causing acute enteritis.

A coxsackievirus B4 strain and application thereof are disclosed. The strain is named KM140-G01 and is preserved in China Center for Type Culture Collection (CCTCC) on Jun. 18, 2023, and the preservation number is CCTCC NO: V202356, the preservation address is Wuhan University, China. The strain is a humanized coxsackievirus B4 wild type single purified strain, and has strong virus replication capacity, good genetic stability and immunogenicity; the strain can be applied to the development of human coxsackievirus B4 vaccine production strains, and is suitable for the development of attenuated coxsackievirus B4 vaccine and inactivated coxsackievirus B4 vaccine; the method can also be used for establishing an infection model on Vero cells and suckling mice, and is used for CVB4 infection and pathogenic mechanism research, CVB4 vaccine evaluation and antiviral drug screening.

The present invention relates to previously undescribed viruses that are associated with significant expansion of the virome, immunodeficiency, and enteropathy during lentiviral infection. The invention also provides methods to detect acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) or AIDS progression in a subject, methods to diagnose immunodeficiency or enteropathy in a subject, and methods to identify a therapeutic agent to treat the same.
