A method of non-covalently loading a plant picornavirus is described. The method includes contacting a plant picornavirus in solution with a molar excess of a cargo molecule to load the plant picornavirus with the cargo molecule, and then purifying the loaded plant picornavirus. Examples of cargo molecules include imaging agents, antitumor agents, and antiviral agents. Loaded plant picornaviruses prepared in this manner can be used to delivering cargo molecule to cells.

The present disclosure describes the generation and the use of Ad variants (Ad) possessing any combination of mutations in genes that code for the hexon, penton, fiber, and non-structural proteins, where simultaneous modification of hexon and penton are made to avoid the trapping of Ad in the liver and to reduce toxicity after intravascular virus administration. Such liver de-targeted Ad can be useful tool for selective and specific gene delivery to extra-hepatic tissues and cells, including disseminated metastatic cancer cells.

The present disclosure relates to methods and products for reducing side effects associated with immunotherapy using immune agonist antibodies. In certain embodiments, the present disclosure provides a method of reducing one or more side effects associated with immunotherapy using an immune agonist antibody alone, or in combination with an immune checkpoint inhibitor, in a subject suffering from a cancer, the method comprising modifying the gut microbiota in the subject and thereby reducing the one or more side effects associated with the immunotherapy in the subject.

A method to treat hepatoma with dengue viruses which infect liver tumor stem cells for annihilation of hepatocellular carcinoma tissues. The liver tumor stem cells expressing the biomarker of CD133 in a tumor part are the objects infected by dengue viruses preferentially and killed due to specific protein expressions for suppression of hepatoma.
