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.

A composition for stabilising a vaccine in a solid dosage format is provided wherein the composition comprises an antioxidant, such as glutathione, a monosaccharide or disaccharide sugar, such as trehalose, a polyol sugar, such as sorbitol, one or more salts, such as magnesium chloride and sodium glutamate, and a vaccine. The composition may also comprise an aqueous soluble polymer, such as polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). A preferred composition comprises 40 mM glutathione, 20% w/v trehalose, 3% w/v sorbitol, 5% w/v PVA, 3% w/v magnesium chloride and 3% w/v sodium glutamate. Also provided is a method of stabilising a vaccine in a solid dosage format, the method comprising drying the stabilising composition to provide the vaccine in the solid dosage format. The composition and method may be used to stabilise any suitable vaccine, such as poliovirus or adenovirus, in a solid dosage format, such as microneedle patches or wafers.

The present invention is the use of designed recombinant viruses for the treatment of various forms of malignant tumors. The recombinant viruses of the invention are those in which one or more regions of the wild type virus was exchanged with a synthetic recoded sequence that reduces the codon pair score relative to human codon pair bias, or that increase the number for CpG di-nucleotides, or that increases the number of UpA di-nucleotides. The method of the present invention is particularly useful for the treatment of malignant tumors in various organs, such as: breast, skin, colon, bronchial passage, epithelial lining of the gastrointestinal, upper respiratory and genito-urinary tracts, liver, prostate and the brain. Astounding remissions in experimental animals have been demonstrated for the treatment of malignant glioblastoma multiforme, as well as for the treatment of breast cancer and melanoma as well.

A composition for administration to a subject is disclosed and the composition comprises a vaccine and plinabulin without or with an adjuvant to induce, enhance or boost humoral response. A method of treatment by administering a vaccine and plinabulin is disclosed. A method of enhancing an immune response to a vaccine in a subject by administering to the subject a vaccine and plinabulin is also disclosed. The vaccine and plinabulin can be administered concurrently or separately.
