Provided is a method for preparing an adenovirus vector vaccine by means of a perfusion culture process. The method comprises a step of culturing adenovirus host cells, and in particular a step of adjusting the perfusion rate by means of at least two stages according to cell density. The method increases the single cell yield of a virus after infection and the specific activity of a virus harvest liquid while achieving high-density growth of adenovirus host cells.

Featured are recombinant adenoviruses and vectors thereof. In particular, the adenoviruses are simian (rhesus) adenoviruses having a low seroprevalence and high immunogenicity (when expressing, e.g., an antigenic polypeptide) relative to other adenoviruses and vectors thereof. Also featured are methods for producing the adenoviruses and methods of treatment of diseases by administering the adenoviral vector(s) to a subject (e.g., a human).

Disclosed herein are methods of treating or preventing a myeloproliferative disease, a cancer, or a cardiovascular disease, and methods of inducing an immune response, in a subject having a JAK2V617F substitution and/or a CALR exon 9 mutation.

The invention provides a bidirectional hCMV-CAG4 promoter and recombinant vectors and recombinant virus comprising the bidirectional hCMV-CAG4 promoter operably linked to a first transgene in one direction and to a second transgene in the opposite direction. The invention also provides methods of making and using such recombinant vectors and recombinant virus.

Methods for generating immune responses using adenovirus vectors that allow multiple vaccinations with the same adenovirus vector and vaccinations in individuals with preexisting immunity to adenovirus are provided.

Methods for generating immune responses using adenovirus vectors that allow multiple vaccinations with the same adenovirus vector and vaccinations in individuals with preexisting immunity to adenovirus are provided.

A compound for the sequestration of undesirable neutralizing antibodies against viral vectors in a patient. The compound includes an inert biopolymer scaffold and at least a first peptide n-mer of the general formula P ( - S - P ) .sub.(n-1) and a second peptide n-mer of the general formula P ( - S - P ) .sub.(n-1); wherein, P is a peptide with a sequence length of 2-13 amino acids and S is a non-peptide spacer, independently for each of the peptide n-mers, n is an integer of at least 1, each of the peptide n-mers is bound to the biopolymer scaffold. Independently for each occurrence, P has an amino-acid sequence including a sequence fragment with a length of at least six amino acids of a capsid protein sequence of a viral vector. Compositions including the compound and sequestering and inhibiting methods are also provided.

Methods for generating immune responses using adenovirus vectors that allow multiple vaccinations with the same adenovirus vector and vaccinations in individuals with preexisting immunity to adenovirus are provided.

This invention relates to a method of treating a dog for canine diseases comprising administering to the dog therapeutically effective amounts of a vaccine, wherein the vaccine comprises viral antigens, a bacterin, or both, and wherein the vaccine is administered subcutaneously or orally according to the schedules provided herein.

Methods for generating immune responses using adenovirus vectors that allow multiple vaccinations with the same adenovirus vector and vaccinations in individuals with preexisting immunity to adenovirus are provided.
