The disclosure discloses a porcine epidemic diarrhea virus S protein and a subunit vaccine thereof as well as a method for preparing the subunit vaccine and application thereof. The vaccine contains 30220 g of a recombinant porcine epidemic diarrhea virus S protein and a pharmaceutically acceptable ISA 201 VG adjuvant. A method for preparing the subunit vaccine comprises the following steps: (1) cloning the recombinant porcine epidemic diarrhea virus S protein; (2) expressing and purifying the recombinant porcine epidemic diarrhea virus S protein; (3) preparing the recombinant porcine epidemic diarrhea virus S protein prepared in (2) into a water phase; (4) emulsifying the water phase and the ISA 201 VG adjuvant in a volume ratio of 46:54 to obtain a vaccine. The vaccine is high in safety, good in immunogenicity, stable in batches, low in production cost and strong in immunogenicity. On the other hand, CHO cell strains suspending and stably and efficiently expressing the PEDV-S protein are successfully constructed and screened for the first time. The CHO cell strain can express the PEDV-S protein in high yield, the yield can reach 1 g/L, and the expressed PEDV-S protein is easy to purify.

The present invention relates nucleic acid constructs for the production of recombinant parvoviral (e.g. adeno-associated viral) vectors in insect cells, to insect cells comprising such constructs and to methods wherein the cells are used to produce recombinant parvoviral virions. The insect cells preferably comprise a first nucleotide sequence encoding the parvoviral rep proteins whereby the initiation codon for translation of the parvoviral Rep78 protein is a suboptimal initiation codon that effects partial exon skipping upon expression in insect cells. The insect cell further comprises a second nucleotide sequence comprising at least one parvoviral (AA V) inverted terminal repeat (ITR) nucleotide sequence and a third nucleotide sequence comprising a sequences coding for the parvoviral capsid proteins.

The present invention relates to a virus-like particle for preventing or treating toxoplasmosis, comprising influenza virus matrix protein 1; and surface antigen proteins comprising an inner membrane complex, Rhoptry protein 18 and Microneme protein 8 derived from Toxoplasma gondii, and a pharmaceutical composition comprising the same.

The present disclosure is directed to parvovirus genomes; plasmid vectors encoding parvovirus genomes, and particles and populations thereof; as well as methods of their production and use.

An optimized coding sequence of human blood clotting factor eight (VIII) and a promoter may be used in vectors, such as rAAV, for introduction of factor VIII, and/or other blood clotting factors and transgenes. Exemplary of these factors and transgenes are alpha-1-antitrypsin, as well as those involved in the coagulation cascade, hepatocyte biology, lysosomal storage, urea cycle disorders, and lipid storage diseases. Cells, vectors, proteins, and glycoproteins produced by cells transformed by the vectors and sequence, may be used in treatment.

The present disclosure relates to a heterologous recombinant baculovirus (rBV) expression system for the production of foreign heterologous proteins in insect cells. This system comprises a recombinant baculovirus backbone within a genome with a deletion in the cathepsin gene into which foreign gene cassettes can be integrated, and an insect cell that can be infected by the v-cath-rBV, and in which the foreign proteins and/or viral vectors or particles are expressed.

Provided herein are methods and related compositions or kits for administering viral transfer vectors in combination with synthetic nanocarriers comprising an immunosuppressant and a corticosteroid.

A method for producing recombinant adeno-associated virus, the method including: (1) transforming a gene of interest (GOI) into a recombinant baculovirus, where the recombinant baculovirus has a genome integrated with AAV Rep gene, Cap gene, and rAAV genome ITR-GOI that are needed in the production of the rAAV; and where the ITR-GOI is linked to expression cassette of the Cap gene and the Rep gene by a 5 terminal nucleic acid segment or a 3 terminal nucleic acid segment; (2) infecting host insect larvae with the recombinant baculovirus prepared in (1), such that the rAAV is produced in vivo in the host insect larvae; and (3) lysing the host insect larvae obtained in (2), and extracting and purifying the rAAV.

Disclosed herein are recombinant baculoviruses suitable for detecting the presence of arthropod-borne viruses in a biological sample of a test subject. The information derived from the detection may also be used to render a diagnosis on whether the test subject is infected with the arthropod-borne viruses or not, so that proper course of treatment may be assigned to the subject.
