Methods of inhibiting or reducing tumor growth are disclosed. A composition containing at least one selected oncolytic virus is administered within a tumor of a patient. The virus kills cancerous cells and induces a systemic and lasting anti-tumor immunity that is also compatible with other cancer treatments. Also disclosed are methods of creating synthetic viruses for targeting cancerous tumors.

The present invention relates to the technical field of vaccine preparation, and particularly, to a bivalent inactivated EV71-CA16 vaccine, a method for preparing the same, and use thereof. The present invention implements the preparation by means of separately adsorbing a monovalent viral stock solution containing an EV71 antigen and a monovalent viral stock solution containing a CA16 antigen with an adjuvant and then mixing same, thereby improving the content of the EV71 antigen and the CA16 antigen in the vaccine substance and greatly improving the adsorption rate and recovery rate of EV71 and CA16 antigens. Moreover, the bivalent EV71-CA16 viral antigen can cause positive seroconversion and up-regulation of the corresponding neutralizing antibody and induce a higher serum antibody level, thus facilitating the preparation of the bivalent inactivated EV71-CA16 vaccine and preventing hand-foot-and-mouth disease.

The present invention relates to a method for separating and purifying CVB1, and particularly, relates to a method for purifying CVB1 virus by using a heparin affinity medium.
