Viral infections of the eye, and particularly viral infections in the Herpesviridae and Adenoviridae families, can be treated by administration of a pharmaceutical made up of an enzymatically active ribonuclease and a vehicle. Advantageously, the enzymatically active ribonuclease is ranpirnase, the '805 variant, rAmphinase 2, and Amphinase 2, and the vehicle is an aqueous solution.

A cell-free particle is provided. The cell-free particle comprising a nucleic acid sequence encoding a toxin and a nucleic acid sequence encoding an anti-toxin and wherein the particle comprises a targeting moiety for delivery of the particle into a cancer cell.

The invention relates to a protein material includes angiogenin and/or angiogenin hydrolysate hi an amount of 2 to 15 mg/100 mg, and cystatin and/or cystatin hydrolysate in the mass ratio to angiogenin and/or angiogenin hydrolysate of 0.003 to 0.6.

The invention refers to genetic engineering and can be used in biotechnology, medicine, and agriculture for the manufacture of gene therapy products. A gene therapy DNA vector based on the VTvaf1V gene therapy DNA vector is proposed that carries a target gene selected from the group of genes ANG, ANGPT1, VEGFA, FGF1, HIF1a, HGF, SDF1, KFK4, PDGFC, PROK1, PROK2, to increase the expression level of this target gene in humans and animals. Gene therapy DNA vector VTvaf17-ANG or VTvaf 17-AN GPT 1 or VTvaf17-VEGFA or VTvaf17-FGF1 or VTvaf17-HIF1a or VTvaf17-HGF or VTvaf17-SDF1 or VTvaf 17-KFK4 or VTvaf 17-PDGFC, or VTvaf 17-PDKFC or VTvaf17 has the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID No. 1 or SEQ ID No. 2 or SEQ ID No. 3 or SEQ ID No. 4 or SEQ ID No. 5 or SEQ ID No. 6 or SEQ ID No. 7 or SEQ ID No. 8 or SEQ ID No. 9 or SEQ ID No. 10 or SEQ ID No. 11, respectively. Also provided are a method of producing said vector, the use of a vector, a strain of Escherichia coli carrying said vector, as well as a method of industrial production of said vector.

Provided are compositions and methods for delivering biological moieties such as modified nucleic acids into cells to kill or reduce the growth of microorganisms. Such compositions and methods include the use of modified messenger RNAs, and are useful to treat or prevent microbial infection, or to improve a subject's heath or wellbeing.

An object of the present invention is to provide a safety sensation-improving agent that can improve dulled peripheral sensations through daily ingestion or application to the skin. Another object of the present invention is to provide a sensation-improving food, beverage, feed, or cosmetics that can improve dulled peripheral sensations through oral ingestion or application to the skin. A sensation-improving agent containing a milk-derived protein and/or a hydrolysate therefrom as an active ingredient is provided. The milk-derived protein and/or the hydrolysate therefrom can be orally ingested or applied direct to the skin to improve dulled sensations, particularly peripheral sensations, and be formed into a sensation-improving food, beverage, feed, or cosmetics.

Viral infections in mammals can be treated and prophylactically prevented by systemic administration of ranpirnase and three other ribonucleases that are highly homologous with it and that have activities that are highly similar to it. Experimental results against rabies, Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS-CoV), influenza, Ebola virus, Chikungunya virus, Venezuelan equine encephalitis, canine parvovirus, adenovirus-2, respiratory syncytial virus, rhinovirus-14, and vaccinia are disclosed.

The invention relates to a protein material includes angiogenin and/or angiogenin hydrolysate in an amount of 2 to 15 mg/100 mg, and lactoperoxidase and/or lactoperoxidase hydrolysate, in the mass ratio to angiogenin and/or angiogenin hydrolysate of 0.3 to 20.
