Inhibition of the VIP signaling pathway with VIP antagonist is contemplated. In certain embodiments, the disclosure relates to methods of enhancing the immune response to a cell therapy comprising administering a VIP antagonist to a subject in combination with a cell. In certain embodiments, the subject is diagnosed with leukemia or lymphoma. In certain embodiments, the cell is a blood cell, bone marrow cell, leukocyte, T-cell, natural killer cell, a hematopoietic stem cell, a G-CSF mobilized or non-mobilized blood mononuclear cell.

Methods of treating or preventing ocular disease caused by herpes simplex virus-1 infection are provided, and comprise administering to a subject an effective amount of a herpes simplex virus-2 (HSV-2) having a deletion of an HSV-2 glycoprotein D-encoding gene in the genome to treat or prevent ocular disease in the subject, wherein the HSV-2 is phenotypically complemented with an HSV-1 glycoprotein D by propagating the HSV-2 in a complementing cell expressing the HSV-1 glycoprotein D.

This document provides methods and materials relating to isolated polypeptides, polypeptide preparations, vaccine preparations (e.g., anti-cancer vaccine preparations), and methods for vaccinating mammals. For example, polypeptides (e.g., CMV, MUC1, HER2, Mesothelin (MESO), TRAG-3, or CALR polypeptides) having the ability to be processed into different polypeptides such that the processed polypeptides as a group are capable of being presented by different MHC molecules present in a particular mammalian population are provided.
