A method of treating cancer in a subject that includes administering in situ to the cancer a therapeutically effective amount of a plant virus or virus-like particle to the subject.

Disclosed herein are recombinant polypeptides derived from FBP1 and FBP2. Also disclosed herein are recombinant expression vectors and recombinant host cells for producing the aforesaid recombinant polypeptides. The recombinant polypeptides are proven to be useful and effective in producing a picornavirus with a type I internal ribosome entry site (IRES), so as to facilitate the preparation of a viral vaccine.

The disclosure relates, in some aspects, to compositions and methods for treatment of diseases associated with aberrant lysosomal function, for example Parkinson's disease and Gaucher disease. In some embodiments, the disclosure provides expression constructs comprising a transgene encoding one or more inhibitory nucleic acids targeting SCNA or a portion thereof, TMEM106B or a portion thereof, or any combination of the foregoing. In some embodiments, the disclosure provides methods of Parkinson's disease by administering such expression constructs to a subject in need thereof.

The present invention relates to killed/inactivated and/or recombinant Senecavirus A immunogenic compositions and vaccines, and methods of preventing or treating animals in need of with such an immunogenic compositions and vaccines.

Anticancer virus particles are described. Anticancer virus particles are filamentous or rod-shaped plant virus particle containing an anticancer agent within the interior of the virus particle. The anticancer agent can be attached either covalently or non-covalently within the interior of the virus particle. A therapeutically effective amount of an anticancer virus particle can be administered to a subject identified as having cancer to provide a method of cancer treatment.

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

A method of treating cancer in a subject in need thereof includes administering in situ to the cancer a therapeutically effective amount of a virus or virus-like particle.

A virus-like particle of Senecavirus A, the particle including a structural protein VP0, a structural protein VP1 and a structural protein VP3. The structural protein VP0 is encoded by a gene sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 1. The structural protein VP1 is encoded by a gene sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 2. The structural protein VP3 is encoded by a gene sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 3.

Anticancer virus particles are described. Anticancer virus particles are filamentous or rod-shaped plant virus particle containing an anticancer agent within the interior of the virus particle. The anticancer agent can be attached either covalently or non-covalently within the interior of the virus particle. A therapeutically effective amount of an anticancer virus particle can be administered to a subject identified as having cancer to provide a method of cancer treatment.
