The disclosure provides compositions and methods for the preparation, manufacture and therapeutic use of viral vectors, such as adeno-associated virus (AAV) particles having viral genomes encoding one or more antibodies or antibody fragments or antibody-like polypeptides, for the prevention and/or treatment of diseases and/or disorders.

Methods and materials for effective dosages of AAV gene therapy for the treatment and prophylaxis of hemophilia A.

Described herein are donor vectors and systems for use in in vivo dual recombinase-mediated cassette exchange. Also described are animal models for consistent, rigorous, and facile investigation of transgene expression. Further described are methods of screening for therapeutic drugs using these animal models, and methods of treatment.

The present disclosure provides codon optimized Factor VIII sequences, vectors, and host cells comprising codon optimized Factor VIII sequences, polypeptides encoded by codon optimized Factor VIII sequences, and methods of producing such polypeptides.

This present disclosure provides recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) and methods of their use in gene therapy for treating propionic acidemia (PA). Also provided are pharmaceutical compositions comprising a rAAV of the invention and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or excipient. These pharmaceutical compositions may be useful in gene therapy for the treatment of PA caused by a mutation in propionyl-CoA carboxylase α-subunit (PCCA) or a mutation in propionyl-CoA carboxylase β-subunit (PCCB).

The present invention contemplates mRNA, episomal and retroviral genomic gene therapy based short-term, intermediate or long-term vaccine, immunization, protection or therapy—that can also be administered as a retroviral genomic gene therapy—method to provide mucosal and hematological protection to humans to protect against pandemic and non-pandemic viruses, bacterial infections, fungi, allergens or the cause of allergic reactions, systemic pathological conditions, cancer and anti-biowarfare agents (e.g. natural and unnatural viruses and toxins) where mucosal immunity and potentially hematological immunity is achieved through mRNA, episomal or genomic expression of dimeric immunoglobulin A1 (dIgA1) and dimeric immunoglobulin A2 (dIgA2). The present invention provides methods, immunoglobulin compositions and vector constructs to express potent immunoglobulins that are derived from human blood of a human currently infected with, affected by, exposed to or recovered from any of a wide range of allergens or the cause of allergic reactions, pathogens (including, viruses, virus mutants, bacterial infections and fungi) and systemic pathological ailments (including cancer and other disorders), developed from phage display technology or mice or other animals with a humanized immune systems, transgenic mice or chimeric antibodies a fusion of non-human vetebrates (e.g. mouse or rabbit) and human. The immunoglobulin compositions include the heavy chain variable, diversity and joining (VDJ or Variable Heavy Region genes) segment immunoglobulin DNA and/or polypeptide sequence from humans identified to have developed high affinity immunoglobulins against the antigen, protein or proteins of interest and either to use the exact immunoglobulin heavy chain and light chain polypeptide sequences identified from the memory B-cell that produced them or to modify or engineer some of the immunoglobulin heavy chain and light chain constant domains to reduce, change or modulate effector functions. Although, ideally there are no changes made to the immunoglobulins light and heavy chains as identified from the memory B-cell that produced them. Modification may occur at the Hinge region, Constant Heavy 2 (C.sub.H2) domain and Constant Heavy 3 (C.sub.H3) domain for the immunoglobulin heavy chain polypeptide with optional modification or change of Constant Heavy 1 (C.sub.H1), optional modification or change constant light (C.sub.L) chain domain. The resulting antibodies can either be used as a monoclonal or antibody cocktail of (Immunoglobulin Class G subclass1) IgG1, IgG2, IgG3 and other subclasses, IgA1 monomer and IgA2 monomer and dimeric IgA1 (dIgA1) and dimeric IgA2 (dIgA2) immu
