The present invention relates generally to methods and compositions for gene therapy and immunotherapy that activate gamma delta T-cells, and in particular, can be used in the treatment of various cancers and infectious diseases.

This invention relates to retroviral gene transfer vectors, particularly lentiviral vectors, pseudotyped with hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN) and fusion (F) proteins from a respiratory paramyxovirus, comprising a promoter and a transgene; and methods of making the same. The present invention also relates to the use of said vectors in gene therapy, particularly for the treatment of respiratory tract diseases such as Cystic Fibrosis (CF).

The present invention relates to recombinant oncolytic viruses comprising a vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV), wherein the glycoprotein (G protein) of VSV is deleted; and which comprises a modified fusion protein (F protein) of Newcastle disease virus (NDV); and the hemagglutinin neuraminidase (HN) protein of NDV. The present invention further relates to nucleic acids encoding for the recombinant oncolytic virus and vectors comprising the nucleic acids. The present invention further relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising the rVSV of the invention, the nucleic acid or the vector, further to uses as gene delivery tool and/or for tumor detection. The present invention further relates to the recombinant oncolytic vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) for use in medicine, in particular for the diagnosis, prevention and/or treatment of cancer.

The present invention provides novel donor polynucleotides formed by linking the two ends of a genomic fragment containing a cleavable site by a polynucleotide carrying a positive selection marker gene and a negative selection marker gene. Use of the donor polynucleotide makes it possible to modify only a target gene with avoiding the possibility of introducing mutations to sequences, called off-target, which are other than the target sequence, by introducing cleavage in a homologous site of the donor polynucleotide without introducing cleavage in a target gene locus.

This invention relates to lentiviral gene transfer vectors pseudotyped with hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN) and fusion (F) proteins from a respiratory paramyxovirus, comprising a promoter and a transgene; and methods of making the same. The present invention also relates to the use of said vectors in gene therapy, particularly for the treatment of respiratory tract diseases such as Cystic Fibrosis (CF).

The present invention provides methods and compositions for protein delivery. The invention features virus like particles, methods of making virus like particles and methods of using virus like particles to deliver proteins to a cell, to provide protein therapy and to treat diseases or disorders. The invention also features methods of targeting a protein to a cell, methods of protein therapy and methods of treating diseases or disorders using a TUS protein, a NLS or NES identified from full length TUS.
