The present invention provides a method for purifying an EV71 virus-like particle and a method for preparing a vaccine thereof. The virus-like particle is obtained by performing high density fermentation cultivation on recombinantly engineered bacteria; inducing expression of the EV71 virus-like particle protein expression using methanol; collecting the bacteria by centrifugation and performing high-pressure homogenization for disruption; performing precipitation on the supernatant with ammonium sulfate; and purifying by redissolution, ultrafiltration, ion exchange chromatography, molecular sieve chromatography, hydroxyapatite chromatography, etc.

The present invention relates to single dose parenteral vaccine compositions comprising mixtures of monovalent Norovirus virus-like particles. Methods of conferring protective immunity against Norovirus infections in a human subject by administering such compositions are also disclosed.

Described are improved processes for production and purification of nucleic acid-containing compositions, such as non-naturally occurring viruses, for example, recombinant polioviruses that can be employed as oncolytic agents. Some of the described improved processes relate to improved processes for producing viral DNA template. Also described are improved processes for chromatography purification of nucleic acid-containing compositions, in which the nucleic acid is quantified in chromatography fractions using a rapid detection method of the one or more nucleic acid sequences of the nucleic acid-containing composition, such as detection by real time RT-qPCR. In addition, improved processes for production and purification of oncolytic poliovirus, such as PVS-RIPO, are described. Compositions generated using these methods are also provided.

The disclosure relates to oncolytic virus derived replicons and capsidation of the same. The disclosure also relates to the incorporation of one or more transgenes encoding payload molecules into the replicon. The disclosure further relates to the encapsulation of the replicon and/or recombinant RNA molecules encoding oncolytic viruses into particles and the use of the replicon and/or particles for the treatment and prevention of cancer.

The invention is directed to a vaccine comprising: i) coxsackie B virus CBV1 and CBV2, and ii) at least one coxsackie B virus selected from CBV3, CBV4, CBV5 and CBV6. The CBVs are present in the vaccine in inactivated form, in the form of a component of the virus or as an antibody against the virus. The vaccine is effective in preventing and treating type 1 diabetes. So is an anti-coxsackie B virus composition provided.
