Disclosed is a nanoparticle comprising an inner core comprising a virus; and an outer surface comprising a cellular membrane derived from a cell, and process of making thereof. The virus is an oncolytic virus and cellular membrane is derived from for example red blood cells.

Disclosed is a nanoparticle comprising an inner core comprising a virus; and an outer surface comprising a cellular membrane derived from a cell, and process of making thereof. The virus is an oncolytic virus and cellular membrane is derived from for example red blood cells.

The present disclosure describes methods, compositions, and kits related to the combination of a TLR7 modulating compound and an HIV vaccine. The combination can be used in a method of treating or preventing an HIV infection in a human.

The present invention relates to combination therapy with oncolytic viruses, particularly oncolytic adenoviruses, and checkpoint inhibitors for the treatment of cancer, particularly to a combination comprising (a) an oncolytic adenoviral vector encoding tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha) and/or interleukin-2 (IL-2) as a transgene and (b) one or more immune checkpoint inhibitors for use in the treatment of cancer.

Provided is a method of administering a virus to tumor tissues using an endoscope.

A method of administering a virus to tumor tissues using an endoscope, which is characterized in that it comprises inserting an endoscopic puncture needle filled with a virus-containing solution into tumor tissues and injecting the virus into the tumor tissues.

Provided are methods and compositions for treating cancer with a combination of neural stem cells (NSCs) and an oncolytic virus or a combination of oncolytic virotherapy and immune modulation. The method entails administrating to a subject a pharmaceutical composition comprising a combination of NSCs and an oncolytic virus, and/or NSCs packaged with one or more immunomodulatory viruses expressing one or more immunity checkpoint inhibitors, including adaptive immunity checkpoint inhibitors and innate immunity checkpoint inhibitors. The immunity checkpoint inhibitors include shRNAs against the immunity checkpoint proteins. The cancer includes but is not limited to primary, recurrent, and metastatic brain cancer, breast cancer, head and neck cancer, bladder cancer, ovarian cancer, uterine cancer, prostate cancer, skin cancer, lung cancer, and colorectal cancer.

This invention relates to the use of an adenovirus to treat cancer, for example. The adenovirus may be replication deficient in cells that lack Y box binding protein. The adenovirus may encode an oncogene or an oncogene product, which may transactivate at least one viral gene.

Provided is an oncolytic virus expressing interferon. Specifically provided is an oncolytic adenovirus comprising a fusion protein expressing interferon, said oncolytic virus being capable of effectively suppressing tumors in vitro and in vivo.

The invention concerns a modified oncolytic adenovirus; a pharmaceutical composition comprising same; and a method of treating cancer using same.

The disclosure in some aspects, relates to nucleic acids, compositions and kits useful for gene therapy with reduced immune response to transgene products.
