The present invention is directed to viral vectors and methods of their production and use.

The invention relates to transgene expressing Newcastle Disease Viruses (NDV), which have been demonstrated to possess significant oncolytic activity against mammalian cancers. The invention provides novel oncolytic viruses through the use of genetic engineering, including the transfer of foreign genes or parts thereof, such as genes encoding Ipilimumab, interleukin-12 or NS1. The present invention also provides nucleic acids encoding a reverse genetically engineered (rg-)NDV comprising one or more of these foreign genes and having a mutation in the HN gene, said mutation allowing replication of said rgNDV in a cancer cell to a higher level than replication of an otherwise identical rgNDV not having said mutation in the HN gene.

The present invention relates to a separation of viruses of an essentially spherical shape from viruses with a rod-like shape that are comprised in a sample, wherein the sample comprising the viruses is subjected to filtration.

Provided herein are methods and compositions for the separation of an adeno-associated virus (AAV) particle from a mixture of the AAV and at least one contaminant using anion exchange chromatography. These methods and compositions allow for improved purification of complete AAV particles from contaminants such as AAV particles that lack a complete genome (e.g., empty capsids) and AAV degradation products.

The present invention relates to a Myoviridae bacteriophage Clo-PEP-1 that is isolated from the nature and can kill Clostridium perfringens cells specifically, which has the genome represented by nucleotide sequence of SEQ. ID. NO: 1 (Accession NO: KCTC 12664BP), and a method for preventing and treating the infections of Clostridium perfringens cells using the composition comprising said bacteriophage as an active ingredient.

The present invention is directed to a reassorted ISA virus comprising Genome segments 1-8 wherein at least one genome segment is from Genotype I and at least one genome segment is from genotype II, wherein genome segment 6 is of Genotype II. The reassorted ISA virus was found to grow well in suspension culture. The present invention is also directed to method to make the reassorted virus as well as vaccination methods using the reassorted ISA virus and to vaccine compositions comprising the reassorted ISA virus.
