Embodiments relate to a method comprising (a) expressing a vector comprising a PSGL-1 (P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1) or a mutant thereof in a VPC (virus producing cell); and blocking a virus infection by inactivating an infectivity of a released virions from the VPC; or (b) expressing a glycoprotein or a mutant thereof in the VPC; blocking the virus infection by preventing binding of the released virions to a target cell; inactivating infectivity of the released virions; and targeting a viral infection. Other embodiments relate to (1) a broad-spectrum anti-viral product comprising: a vector expressing a glycoprotein or a mutant thereof in a VPC; and blocking a virus infection by inactivating infectivity of a released virion from the VPC; and (2) a vaccine comprising a viral particle is configured to a live attenuated or an inactivated or a non-infectious, wherein the viral particle are produced in a VPC.

The present disclosure relates to IL2 agonists with improved therapeutic profiles.

The present invention relates to an adenoviral vector or adeno-associated virus vector comprising a nucleotide sequence encoding a single cancer specific CD8+ T cell epitope, wherein the vector is capable of inducing an inflating memory CD8+ T cell response wherein said vector does not comprise a nucleic acid encoding further cancer specific T cell epitopes. It also relates to methods and uses of the vector.
