Methods, reporter gene constructs, and kits for using prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) as an imaging reporter to image a variety of cells and tissues are provided.

Recombinant adenoviral vectors, immunogenic compositions thereof and their use in medicine, and methods for generating recombinant adenoviral vectors are provided. In particular, the an adenovirus vector having a capsid derived from chimpanzee adenovirus AdY25, wherein the capsid encapsidates a nucleic acid molecule comprising an exogeneous nucleotide sequence of interest are provided.

The present invention relates to a process for producing recombinant adeno-associated virus (AAV) particles, described herein as trans-pseudotyping. The process involves the production of recombinant AAV particles in first host cells and then in second host cells, wherein first and second AAV cap genes are expressed in the first and second host cells, respectively, thus producing first and second recombinant AAV particles which are encapsidated by first and second AAV capsid polypeptides. The first and second recombinant AAV particles have different cell tropisms, preferably towards production cell lines (for high efficiency production of AAVs) and for cells associated with a therapeutic indication (for treatment of such an indication), respectively.

The present disclosure provides expression vectors, e.g., chimeric adenoviral vectors, comprising a nucleic acid encoding a coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) N protein, e.g., an N protein from SARS-CoV-2, and a heterologous antigenic polypeptide and methods employing such expression vectors for using the vectors to elicit an immune response.

The present invention provides recombinant adenoviral vectors, immunogenic compositions thereof and their uses in medicine. In particular, the present invention provides an adenoviral vector comprising the genome of an adenovirus other than AdHu5 and AdY25, wherein the genome of the adenovirus has been modified such that the vector lacks the native E4 locus of the adenovirus and comprises heterologous E4Orfl, E4Orf2 and E4Orf3 coding regions from AdY25.
